-- re placebo effects: I think the thing for me is YES GOOD placebo effect is great, BUT if I have told a practitioner that I would rather have a more rigorous understanding then that is the point at which they should stop treating me as though I'm the middle of the bell curve.
(I... ended up, Very ~Patiently~, telling TFPD "I do know what neurotransmitters are." Which... well, it was kind of entertaining how much it wrong-footed him. Didn't get him talking patronising bullshit to me, alas.)
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
