He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man, follow him.
He who knows and knows not that he knows is sleeping, wake him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student, teach him.
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool, shun him.
It is sort of fun. Our family uses it against each other mercilessly. I like the concept of the jeweler also. And lucky you that your doctor doesn't fall under this description. My neice has OCD and I sat in on her session with a psychopharmacologist and asked him how long these kids (she's 16) need to stay on meds. Her mother was there and I thought she needed to know the answer because she is violently opposed to meds. Anyway, he said 6 months to a year and I wondered what planet he was falling from. What a pat answer and with a condition that there is no indication recovery in the true sense occurs from.Knowing you have a chronic condition and knowing that the death of brain cells is likely part of that condition, I find myself thinking I ought to be taking selegiline or lithium whether I want to or not because of their neuroprotective aspects.

During our last session, he basically stated that psychiatry has a long, long, long way to go before there are diagnostic tests for specific disorders, and sufficient knowledge to do something about them without making it worse. Thus, we are resorting to trial and error. Serendipity has been psychiatry's best friend so far.
