So, for the sake of argument, let's say you've had encounters with 100 psych professionals with prescriptive privileges. What does that mean? It's a drop in the bucket and it would be impossible to extrapolate to the entire community of professionals from such a small sample. Further, it says nothing of the validity of research in psychotropic meds or in neuroscience, as the people doing this research are scientists with perhaps similar, but quite different knowledge and training. For you to say that this research is propaganda without any direct knowledge of it removes any credibility from your assertion. You simply lack the relevant knowledge to debate this topic.
