Dr. Sobo says,
"But I would say that a degree of independent thinking is always valuable even in patients".
I agree with your statement but feel that "independent thinking" is *especially* valuable when it comes to being a patient. Until psychiatry makes great advances in evidence-based practice, patients in particular will need to be independent thinkers. Current *standards of care* for psychiatric illnesses are certainly not standard and until our current understanding of these illnesses progress; it will ultimately be up to the consumer(patient) to decide what is in their best interest.
