Yes, I Got Spoofed

JC, a reader from Back East somewhere, left a comment yesterday that I broke out as a post because he fooled me into thinking he really was one of the Biederman groupies, bipolar child defenders, etc. His comment was so perfect that it got by my BS detector, which may not have been fully on at 10.30 am. It's classic and you all should go read it here.

What I love is that JC says he took a lot of the language straight from the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation website.

LOL... It happens to the best of us! In retrospect (why can't we have the benefit of this, beforehand?), it's easy to say that there were only two realistic possibilities, given that it was so well-worded. First, that it was a spoof. Second, that it had come direct from the marketing department of some pharma company, so flagrantly did it either ignore or dismiss out-of-hand all arguments countermanding the drug-based paradigm. In the event, both of these possibilities were true, in a sense!

As I wrote: easy to say in retrospect.

In this insane world it is hard to tell who is joking and who is being serious.

You should have known it was a spoof because I'm the only person who doesn't hate all psych meds here!

I took an SSRI AND I SURVIVED... that was not a spoof in case you were wondering.

re: Neuroskeptic"I'm the only person who doesn't hate all psych meds here!"

I don't hate the psych drugs. I do think some chemicals are medications and not drugs.
I am really grateful for the invention of Ativan-benzo drugs.

I hate that the psych drugs are forced on non-criminals, and I hate the religion of psych drugs for life, and I hate that people are not fully informed by their doctor of the seriousness of the medications effects and withdrawal effects.
