    Self Diagnosis; Why the Controversy?

    There is a similar topic elsewhere in the forum. Instead of rewriting what I wrote there, I'm cutting and pasting from my post, as well as from a message I sent someone else (these my words only!): "... the "self diagnosis" option on here is not a formal, medical diagnosis. Speaking for myself...

    I suspect, if you do a pro/con list, you'd be leaving. Reading your post lists more cons than pros: Cons: member of staff have run it into the ground it's just become, stale only a handful of people left now in Lifestyles members of staff are just not suited to deal with anyone with mental...
