No. Education is power. It can make clinicians uncomfortable at times, but who cares. I think in general they prefer patients be knowledgable, even if it sometimes makes treatment more challenging. I have worked with people at times, albeit it rarely, where I'm clearly more educated than they are. I once had an intern (unintentionally) talk down to me, but was bc she didn't know what the F she was doing. I politely reminded her I have significant healthcare experience, am 10 years older than you, and no offense, but you don't know what you are talking about. I know my body and mind better than anyone. I would much rather know what is going on physiologically and psychologically than be totally in the dark and at the whim of others who don't live inside my body and mind. The more I've learned, the better I've been able to take care of myself, even during unwell times. People don't always like that and in rare cases may make a clinician uncomfortable with their own knowledge, etc, but who cares. lol. In an ideal treatment situation, you learn from each other.
