If he didn't disagree with that, he wouldn't be my pdoc anymore...It does seem ridiculous. But if you look at the history of psychiatry in the past thirty or forty years, you'll see patterns and trends. Thankfully, they pass...
Next time I see him, I'll ask him to keep me up to date on those "everyone says" things, so I can pass them on to you. ;-D One of the others we talked about was that EVERYONE who is somewhat anxious in social situations and a bit klutzy was definitely Aspergers! Uh, OK, so I guess that means me and half the people I know... Wish I'd known that sooner...
As for meds, while I may not always agree with some of the dx's people get, if the drugs used work, then that's enough for me.
