For any doctor to rule out the use of an available tool is negligent, egotistical, and political in my mind. If they rule out any tools, they have forgotten the entire purpose of their chosen profession. That's just how I see it.

Hear, hear.
Please try telling this to English pdocs. Today I had an appointment @ Maudesley, the UK's top affective disorders clinic. I was told that in order to cure my 17yr unremitting depression I should "stop smoking pot & start planning yr life" (great advice for someone currently planning their own death). I was offered only more A/Ds (I've tried 15) or ECT. Naturally I told the pr*ck where he could stick his advice & walked out.Anyway I've had enough of English pdocs & their quaint theories of reactive depression. Tomorrow, at great expense no doubt, I'm booking a REAL pdoc in the US of A!
Getting back to the original question, hopefully my new pdoc will prescribe lots of lovely, hardcore meds, MEDS THAT I NEED FOR AN ORGANIC (.'. treated with physical means) CONDITION.
That's all,
Jah.
