I hope you don't mind me asking (even though I don't know why you would ;-)):
How/where/why/when did each of you acquire so much knowledge about psychopharmacology?
Education/degrees/experience/credentials, etc...
I don't always have enough knowledge to decide how to "rate" the reliability of the info. you offer.
Thanks

Hope Ed doesn't mind but I'll answer for him now. He was going to school to be a pharmacist. Took a year off. Or maybe just a semester. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi.
> I don't always have enough knowledge to decide how to "rate" the reliability of the info. you offer.
That's the smartest thing I've heard all day.
:-)
I have no credentials nor formal education in any field of medicine. Just a little biology in college before I dropped out due to bipolar disorder. Anything I've learned along the way has come from the desire to save my own life.
I am not a doctor, and, although at times difficult, I try not to play one in real life...
I'm just a car salesman.
When in doubt, Google or Medline (Pubmed).

Hi Fires,
I don't have a degree or any credentials. During my brief time at university, we didn't study anything useful.
I've read a bit about psychopharmacology out of interest.
Kind regards
Ed

Thanks for the reply. At times I also find it hard not to act like a doctor (not a pdoc). I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous

The desire to live, the desire to win over one's own disease, intense experiences, and the incredible amount of research on the web (pubmed for example)...these things turn suffering people into experts all over the world in all kinds of diseases.

Yes. "If you have health, you have hope -- and if you have hope, you have everything."
