McManamy Tries Criticizing Me Again
Can I just say that John McManamy, author the Knowledge Is Necessity blog and the book “Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder,” is an out-of-touch fool? Back in February, he alleged that I engaged in “dumb anti-psychiatry” for daring to criticize the possibility of a new type 3 of bipolar disorder and now he’s gone and re-posted that entry for reasons that escape me, but establish once again that he’s a malicious toad. Here’s my response to him earlier this year, wherein I noted that he’s a huge defender of the child bipolar paradigm, Fred Goodwin and pretty much anything mainstream psychiatry tells him is true.
Meanwhile, he’s completely missed writing about how bipolar disorder is wrongly diagnosed almost 50 percent of the time, how there’s evidence that the disorder resolves over human lifespans in a large percentage of cases and he totally ignored the Paxil birth defects verdict. But of course it’s dumb anti-psychiatry for me to have written about these things. Right, John?
Earlier this year, McManamy again called me an anti-psychiatrist and I wrote to him asking him to correct the assertion, which is false, and he went batty on me. I decided against publicizing our exchange out of good taste. But maybe if enough people ask me to post it, I’ll get over my standards and let you guys see what a goofball he can be.
