Anyone who has suffered freom mental illness and has been to more than one p-doc for help should realize by now the following truths:
1. Doctors are only human. They are not omnicient and generally only know the treatment theory that they were taught in medical school.
2. In order to benefit from a transtheoretical understanding of mental illness and treatment, you pretty much have to be your own advocate. You yourself know your symptoms and response to medication best, and should therefore do everything you can to educate yourself on the pertinent topics. Fortunately, with the current state of the internet, you can do this in a matter of hours in the comfort of your own home. No advice is better than personal experience, and that is why boards such as this one are so invaluable.
