There are a few of us. But in a highly liberal profession other voices are often “less heard”. Kinda like the “consensus” in global warming.

I also have disdain for general psych med use believe it or not. Being a psychologist, I cannot prescribe meds, only psychiatrists (MD’s) or med Dr’s can.

I’m a fan of Peter Breggin and the like, ever since my kid’s elementary school tried to force me to put my kid on Ritalin.

I held them off but it wasn’t pretty, and they had no problem blaming every grade she received under an A (not too many of them) on the need for Ritalin. At one point they told me they’d deny her entry into an advanced reading class unless I had an IEP for her - that ploy didn’t work, but they made her life miserable that year because of it. It’s the main reason we started homeschooling - then we continued homeschooling because we loved it.

Sorry, but in many ways I despise most members of your profession. You sound like one of the good ones, like Breggin.
