This whole discussion strikes me as so similar to Dr. Breggin. Jamestheyonger posted a great link to an article about Breggin that I'll post below if you didn't catch it. I really wonder what motivates people (doctors?) like Tracy and Breggin. First of all it shows that they greatly misunderstand or deny the facts and are somehow afraid of simply the idea of pychiatric medications. I few years ago I may have taken people like this a little seriously and spent some time researching their remedies. Thanks to boards like this and my own research I can dismiss people like that. I recall reading about some doctor believed all mental illness was caused by bacterial infection. In some ways the people who challenge us just make us stronger, but these two doctors? don't help to reduce the lingering stigma of what I believe is a physiological condition, not to mention delaying the opportunity to find the right treatment.
