Hey Bob, what do you think of this idea...
an OCD board, psychotic disorder board, panic board etc etc. But make them deal with meds used for those disorders.
Also how about a 'med success' board where people post only great responses to drugs? Yeah I know, it would probably be too overloaded with Nardil talk, because Nardil dusts every other AD out there!
Tell me what you think...
Ace.

But what about meds used for more than one type of disorder?

That would be better than just leaving them mixed in? Also, it would by definition be biased...

> But what about meds used for more than one type of disorder?I agree. You are right. I believe there are no specific meds in psychiatry which match specific disorders. In essence I really believe we are throwing anything up there (the brain) and hoping it'll work. For examples- antipsychotics for panic, OCD, and even depression. But this is the way it must be, because not one psychiatric disorder in my opinion has a unequivocal biochemical correlate. i.e. I believe one person with 'OCD' and another with 'OCD' might have completely different aetiologies accounting for their 'OCD'. Do you agree Dr. Bob, or anyone else??
