> I agree that Linkadge is informative and helpful. He is very well-read and is an asset to this site. I don't think he comes across as negative or anti-psychiatry. In some posts, he does express the enormous frustration that most of us have had to contend with as a result of inadequate medications and doctors. I think the Psychobabble Med board gives a pretty clear picture of what we go through. If I want to look at the world through rose-colored glasses or read about how wonderful the currently available psychotropic drugs are, or if I want to read lies, I can leaf through the drug ads placed by pharmaceutical companies in medical journals. Or, thanks to direct-to-consumer marketing, I can now find those ads/lies on TV and in just about any magazine, from TIME to GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. I'm willing to bet that if "Babblers" were living such rosy lives, they'd be doing just that (i.e., living their rosy lives) instead of frequenting message boards such as this, desperately seeking help and searching for answers that our paid and presumably educated doctors have been unable to provide.
I couldn't agree more with you, Linkadge is very helpful for this board. Paul
