This would not simply be for an exploration of non-mainstream therapies such as acupunture, SAM-E, etc., but a place for critical dialogue and learning about the psychiatric and psychology professions themselves.

I dont agree with having debates here. I can see many ways in which a debating two sides of the coin (of any topic) can escalate into people choosing sides and it end up being a free for all of members getting angry and hurt.
I also remember relatively recent (with in the past 6 months or so) the topic of debates has already been addressed by the administrator, stating there would be no debating because this is a support site where members can gain support and help with their mental disorders, but there is a way for those that want to hold discussions like this.
members can form their own social groups. I like this option.
Social groups are a win win situation my opinion anyway because you get what you want - being able to hold your discussions in a safe way, the members that could get hurt or triggered wont see the postings from the group and eventually the social group will expand to being its own forum.
