There are many many branches of science... thank goodness! Which is what I love about it, there is never one path.

Thing is Venus, you are not the only one who gets passionate about these topics. Lots of us do as we have seen here, including me. Everyone has the right to their opinion. Some of our opinions are less accepted than others, if you don't stand up for what you believe you might get steamrolled. As much as I see you being called out, I see the unwillingness from some of the other side to meet in the middle. I am not going to pretend I don't see it. It seems ok to be intolerant, claim these people peeve you (not you saying this) who use other treatment and and claim success doing it, and makes them angry. But it is not really ok to do that if you are in the other treatment category, not that it should be ok to be intolerant. Actually you will get hugs for saying that, which honestly no I don't understand hugging for being intolerant. Some might see what I have to say here hurtful, I am being honest, and I was hurt by some of those statements, I don't think I display intolerance and not on a personal level. I try to support people here who are on meds all the time. I have been on both sides, mentally and chemically. Thing is I feel guilty for saying that it displayed intolerance and that I felt hurt by it. Not that I should, and when people write stuff like that do they feel bad for doing it?

We all have the right share what works for us, it's called trying to help. I refuse to feel guilty about trying to share knowledge, or other perspectives. I don't think that is right to expect. Or expect people to be quite because they have a different opinion, and everyone who shares the common opinion can say as much as they want. It doesn't work that way either.

There is almost always more than one option. Science makes good use of showing us that. As does nature. I wouldn't say psychiatry and pharmacology is science, tho branches of science. Some is based on pretty bad science as well and that is allowed to be said.
