I get stressed out when my parents ask questions about my treatment. It's not because I mind explaining matters, but due to how they constantly dismiss my judgement on past, present, and future decisions without having anywhere near the knowledge base I've accumulated through direct experience and extensive research.

I try to provide some insight to them, but they dismiss it as if admitting their ignorance is some capital crime.

If I ignore their initial inquiry they react as if I'm withholding information they need. If I only provide them the information they ask for they consider themselves informed enough to have an idea of what form of treatment I may need. If I try to provide the information required to truly be informed, to rectify their lack of understanding on the subject, so as to demonstrate they lack the foundational knowledge to hold such beliefs...it's stressful and in the end seems to provide no benefit to myself great enough to warrant the effort.

I'm not sure what more I can do and could really use some advise about what else I might be able to try.
