Scrolling through psychobabble archives shows a change of personality. This website has usually been pharmaceutical discussion. Medical. Technical. Sometimes a chance to offer support when in crisis. But usually medicine oriented. More pharmaceutical support than personal support. Tips on drugs. Side effects. Augmentations etc. The suggestions in wearys post are good as I see it.
Psychobabble could really be anything. As the name implies. It does sound more babble lately. Nothing wrong with that I guess. But what I envision is a forum where doctors would be comfortable joining in. Wouldn't it be neat if doctor's came in? I'm afraid when they browse through they see the nonmedical discussions they will not participate. I would like to see get back to previous medical slant. I am afraid the personal slant will chase away experts I crave hearing from. I want to see more advisory discussions. Some posts I like are Elizabeth, St James, Adam, JohnL, Andrew, Jamie, WayneR, Dr. Bob, etc. Others too. You know who you are. I prefer that to-the-point technical slant. Less of the personal stuff. Don't misunderstand me. I like the personal discussions too. But Email or chatrooms are better venues those. I would be less depressed to see psychobabble get back to its medical-technical babble roots.
