I Googled a very generic phrase "lamictal pdoc daughter agitated" and a post from this site (and several others that don't employ a security protection layer) was in the 5th page of Google.

Ever go through a child custody battle? Well, add an additional word about your wife (or husband) such as "restaurant" if they work in one, and just that phrase Googled will bring up that one comment, maybe on the first Google output this time, then the Googler can go back and collect ALLLLL the posts written by that person who came here to merely seek some support.
Meanwhile, the one fighting for custody who finds the posts could be an abuser - but yet there's no proof he is physicially abusive. So now, thanks to the security of this forum, there is proof that the mother is "mentally unstable" and poof! She loses her little ones.
That is not at all unrealistic example. So you say-don't post personal stuff or use the internet. Too late if you have been using this site. People didn't even think of this stuff barely - even 2 years ago. That post was from 2003.
I'm suprised people are not more concerned about this. I can imagine the devastation of a parent who posted something here, or on another insecure forum, losing custody of her child. A person's life can be easily shattered. But oh well, I guess she shouldn't have posted here then. Keep your mental health troubles to yourself or save it for the 10 minutes you have each month with your PDoc.
p.s. not being sexist - it can and does happen the other way.
