I, as well, did my undergraduate work in psychology and left the field for similar reasons. It may be, in part, why I get so frustrated with the current state of affairs when I read case studies like the one Dr. Barnum shared about the 8-year-old with EDS who was referred to a psychiatrist instead of getting the proper care for her medical condition.
In any event, I am grateful for the passion you bring to the table when it comes to advancing our knowledge of viable strategies for treating people with EDS and all that goes with it.
