Hi There

Hi, Anarchist42. I note your comments on JDW(?)'s talk page and take them very seriously. Thanks for the awfully good advice. May I ask where in Canada you are? I'm in Vancouver. Francesca Allan of MindFreedomBC 03:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's good to hear from you (I have noticed your contributions in the past). I have a habit of trying to get bitter opponents to reach some sort of understanding (I guess I'm a diplomatic optimistic), however I have yet to see any effort by the psychiatric profession to even pretend to listen to the mentally ill, hence I view it as a challenge! I'm a resident of sunny Victoria, BC. -- Anarchist42 17:34, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just moved from Victoria! I am in awe of your diplomatic optimism and wish you well bringing psychiatrists and mental patients to some kind of understanding. I'm sure you've heard this quip about psychiatry: it's the only business where the customer is always wrong. Keep up the good work!

Diplomacy is the only option, since we can't sue them (I know, cause I tried). I tried sending (very polite) E-mails to many official websites, and none bothered to reply. -- Anarchist42 22:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I actually only discovered your comments interspersed in the discussion much later. Neither me nor Francesca responded to them specifically, so I hope you don't mind that I removed them. Please feel free to summarise your points I you'd like me to address them, but I think we've covered the stuff pretty well in our seperate discussion on bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder

Hey, I just got your message. Bipolar disorder belongs in the more appropriate category "Mood disorders." The category "Mental illness diagnosis by DSM and ISCDRHP" is not the place for a specific mood disorder when there is a sub category. --CDN99 18:00, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough (and thanks for the explanation). -- Anarchist42 22:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
