Old School:I don't think you, or the regular members of this board are typical of the general population. Many of us are very proactive in our treatments. Most people want to be told what to do, and that's it. We have a high desire to be informed, many people don't. You are essentially talking about treating yourself, which if you're up to it, is fantastic. Most people aren't.
It has often been said, by med professionals, as well as some on this board that only the complainers and severely TRD people post to this board. That may be partially true, but we are also a portion of the population who is computer literate, have internet access, and are extremely proactive in our own care. I think this is often overlooked.
