Medication for depression is the topic!!!!! ?
Q.He is not a scientology type. There are several assholes on this NG whose views on meds and ECT and psychiatry in general are 100% inline with those of scientology however. Seems strange huh?
A.it is considered to be proper to lurk a little while before posting, so as to grasp the variety of threads. This is so as to not make a fool of oneself. As I have clearly stated, the misnomer here applies to the naming of the groups in this hierarchy. The definition "depression and mood disorders" is not only redundant but misleading. It is, however, a permanent characteristic of the group. Only one poster insists on distinguishing between unipolar depression and any other mood disorder. My purpose in posting the prosposal, also clearly stated, was to determine whether or not there was any support for the idea of creating the group which that other poster had believed was already in existence. It will apparently not have the support required to go ahead with making a formal proposal at alt.config. Case closed. With reference to the issue of the utility of the term "unipolar depression", do a Google search using the specific phrase. You will find nearly 10,000 hits. I don't need to realize anything. The correct APA terminology for one particular mood disorder is Major Depression. The World Health Organization uses quite a different diagnostic structure. I am quite familiar with the DSM. The only thing idiotic here is that you have posted this ad hominem drivel twice. You received no reply the first time, so you thought it useful to post it again? I thought you were trying to restrict discussion topics to medication? Or does that not apply to you? first time posters need to be given a lot of leeway....their out of sorts.. often upset and disillusioned and angry bout depression and the meds not being a terrific fit.. they dont know where to begin and sometimes begin with a personal attack on one of the veterans...who violated their pet peeves or whose POV is opposite of whre they are at... Wise veterans..will ignore such.as its all too common, and simply respond to the fact this person is suffering depression and has some probems with his meds..
