In reply to Poll Results: Treatment resistant symptoms, posted by Noa on November 1, 2000, at 9:34:52
NOA,
I missed the poll, but have a few comments
I looked at the choices & noted that psychotic symptoms as well as none psychotic symptoms were mixed together.
I am sure that there will be disagreement, but I do not think this is valid.
I do not think these are the same mental entities & response to treatment can not be compared in a valid way.
I don't even think that young ( teens to early 20's) onset of anxiety /depression is the same disease as later onset fo the same. The younger people seem to be much more resistant to effective treatment.
Psychotic vrs none psychotic also seems to be much more involved than comparing a few of the common symptoms.
This is not to be critical ( as I know it probably comes across ), but to say that it is very hard to compare apples & oranges & find anything except apples are apples & oranges are oranges.
