I think @sarahsweets hit the nail on the head -- validation and empathy are key words when responding in a mental health community. We're not a debate community. We're not a place to find the "truth" about a particular type of treatment, especially given that different treatments work for different people.

Just try and remember, everyone you're responding to here is likely battling their own pain and demons, ones that just happen to be different than yours. Their life experience is also likely to be wildly different from yours.

All we can do is offer what we can, as fellow human beings, and do so in as non-judgmental way as possible. Sometimes a person just needs to vent and isn't really looking for advice or your "take" on things. That's okay to do here.

That's why I always say this is a self-help support community -- not a discussion forum. If you want to debate topics, there are plenty of online forums to do so. We're not one of them.
