when researching on the internet I go by not believing everything I find out there. that if its something that is dear to my heart and something I really need to know about in relation to my own mental and physical health problems or something to help others (ie friend, family clients, college research papers....)is to contact my own treatment providers who can give me the accurate and up to date information based on todays standards.

actually, what i have read is based on several studies from the US on the topic. if you look on google scholars, there are a lot of studies published in medical and psychiatric/psychology journals, etc. where more in depth information is included, so it's not just random people writing a blog or articles on it with limited information.
