I didn't really think you had a paternalistic view, but you did raise some interesting points. I was inserting a little sarcasm, perhaps aimed at my experience with mental health care (not just my own). Maybe I like a good debate.
I think it takes a tremendous amount of faith (in something so imperfect) to take psych meds. I like my Pdoc, everything is ultimately my decision, and I trust that he's applying his knowledge toward increasing my quality of life.
The idea, that I can lack some insight, seems so strange to me, but I have to think it is true, even though I'm pretty grounded in reality.
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
