Re the Schofields, scroll down and you will find a recent blog piece I did on them, with a reference to Dawdy's predictably irresponsible spin.<br /><br />The piece focussed on the agonies of parents with a young child (Jani) with schizophrenia, and I didn't want to take away from that by turning it into a critique on antipsychiatry bloggers. But now is a good John McManamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857174305041382349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098361547792425611.post-77004592262612877192009-07-30T06:20:14.003-07:002009-07-30T06:20:14.003-07:00Hi John,

It’s sad to read that we come across the cockroaches (two legged variety) as I refer to some of these individuals. They too being one of nature’s creatures there must be a reason for them?<br />herbhttp://www.vnsdepression.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098361547792425611.post-41577243277897924162009-07-29T04:27:51.506-07:002009-07-29T04:27:51.506-07:00Many thanks, Cristina. A few points:
1. Assholes ...Many thanks, Cristina. A few points:<br /><br />1. Assholes are everywhere. On one hand, we all have to learn how to act as if they are not there. On the other, there are occasions to apply the asshole exterminator. If we live in fear of these idiots, then they win.<br /><br />2. By far the worst mental illness stigma I have ever encountered comes from assholes within the mental illness communityJohn McManamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857174305041382349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098361547792425611.post-4261200534107143402009-07-28T22:33:37.676-07:002009-07-28T22:33:37.676-07:00Hi John.

No matter where we go, what our profession, what walk of life we come from or what country we live in, conflict is part of human nature. Sometimes conflict is good if it's in the spirit of opening each other to another way of thinking, but that's not always the case.Cristina Romero-Sierranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098361547792425611.post-19053835741853360152009-07-28T08:33:48.756-07:002009-07-28T08:33:48.756-07:00Hey, Anonymous.

Your work has offered me a place to learn about my diseases, as well as the good, bad and ugly of the psychiatric community and Pharma. You give your readers information and things to think about. You offer a unique and vital service.

I understand that some people are sometimes laid low by side effects of medications, both physical and psychiatric. But you don't find those who had a problem on, say, Viagra attacking everyone on the web who has ED. Those of us with mental illness cretinnoreply@blogger.com
