Doctors don't use amphetamine monotherapy to treat MDD and BD because it doesn't work. It tends not to bring one to remission and keep them there for more than a week or two. It is not the best kept secret in psychiatry that it does. It is not some long-lost piece of knowledge that the most dedicated of researchers have neglected to revisit.

I trained them well. :-)
I am priveledged to have worked with some of the best. I've learned quite a bit from various perspectives. However, I have never generalized to an entire profession a set of characteristics, good or bad, in ways that I have seen here. Making such a polarized generalization that is all inclusive is not a reflection of reality. There are too many good doctors out there.

How apropos.
