1/ I've searched for psychiatrists who are experts in both pharmacology and therapy to see if I can find any. Many psychiatrists' therapy training is limited to psychoanalytic and only by being analyzed themselves. It seems to rot their understanding of brains.

2/ I am greatly disappointed in child psychiatrists who treat audiences like children, including psychologists. Without a basis, they insist they are "literally the expert" when they actually know little about meds or therapy.

3/ I watched citizen-scientists from the chronic fatigue community try to correct psychiatrists about the safety and efficacy of harmful cognitive behavioral therapy for their condition and saw the psychiatrists respond like assholes.

4/ I have learned a lot from psychiatrists like Don Klein, Mickey Nardo, and Barney Carroll about the futility of psychotherapy for unmedicated patients in an psychotic episode. The strength of evidence is indisputable.
