My therapist is kick ass! She was the one who brought my attention to MD.....after about a year and a half of frusteratingly slow progress.

We were talking today and she actually asked me for the link to this website.
I didn't hesitate because she went well above and beyond duty to find that little essay by Eli Somer for me.

I found her by accident. I was skimming some obscure website when I saw her name...but it was her address that motivated me to send her that first email.
Her office was located within walking distance from my house.
This was the only reason I chose her.
I got effin lucky.

I'm 40 y.o. and have seen a gazillion counselors.
A few of them were honest and admitted they didn't know what was wrong with me.
But most ov'm tried to B.S. their way through it and I ended up leaving angry.
I held a special hatred for psychiatrists....bloody golf enthusiasts with prescription pads or state licesned dope dealers.

The bad experiences I'd had all come from "pill mills".
Pill Mills are mental health companies. Either attached to a hospital or a clinic.
My doctor is an independant. She also introduced me to a competent independant psychiatrist, though his office is located in the sewer(the city of Seattle......icky!)

I dunno, maybe the trick to finding a good doctor is to sniff out the independants?
It seemed to work for me.
I now know the name of my tormentor(MD) I feel whole...and can face the other issues they do have cures for.

If anyone's living in the Puget Sound area and looking for a forward thinking therapist, I'd be more than happy to give out her name and number.
She wont b.s. you or blow a bunch of sugar up your backside.....but she will find a solution.

The Eli Somer study is a good start, but more research has been done and is currently being done.  I know of at least 2 articles that have been written about it, as well.  Links to the aforementioned can be found on the links page.
