So me personally I have alot of mental and physical health problems and doctors these days are so focus on getting you in and out fast as possible I barely get time to ask anything.
Who would like to see some sort of medical advice health concern. Like a Dear Doc thread? |

Not for anything serious. For general observation and amusement maybe but as there’s no way to check the validity if any advice it would be a crapshoot. |

You can post anything on the forums and people will give you their own opinion based on what they know or have experienced. You can listen to the advice if it helps you but I wouldn’t take something someone had said on here over the advice of a professional.
Depends on the nature or the severity of your mental and physical health.
If it’s something like someone saying to get outdoors in the day and have a walk outside or someone telling you to drink more water, eat more fruit and vegetables, that’s fine to a degree but don’t take it a gospel. Example if someone was alcohol dependant and then someone said on here oh you should immediately cut out alcohol and stop drinking, that could most likely kill that person.

I don't think medical advice should be given by not health care professionals. There are too many people who think self diagnosis is the answer and Dr Google isn't very helpful with that. You could waste years of your life thinking there is something particularly wrong and be.. simply wrong. It's just a slippery slope. There are charities one can contact in the light of the fact that mental health waiting list are awful in many regions. Guided self help with reliable sources recommended by hcp. Good word on the Internet isn't a solution to anything. It's just like putting a clean plaster on a wound which has never been cleaned and disinfected. It had to sting first and cause some discomfort before it gets better. That's reality of it.
So no...no advice. Supportive word is a different story. That doesn't mean nodding to anything one say. That's not a fix to reaffirm someone's negative thinking or habits. |

We've had various threads and great input for medical and mental advice before ....
Nothing stopping you starting a Dear Doc thread

You can ask anything like that on the forum anyway. I'm not sure there is sufficient demand to warrant its own section.
I don't really think Fab is a good place to get reliable medical information. I think it would be best to leave that to trained professionals. Just use this for friendly support. |
