Hello skygray and welcome to NeuroTalk.
I do think perhaps you may have reached a wrong conclusion about how our community functions.
In fact, if you look around a bit more, you will note that for most of our members, the norm is their medications and they value having caring physicians. For many, medications are essential.
We do allow all points of view here however, and so yes, there will also be threads by members who prefer an alternative treatment protocol, and even some who want nothing to do with conventional medicine. They are allowed a voice here as well.
All we ask is that everyone be respectful of others and not try to negate the individual choices made for treatment.
We have no "official" policy on treatments. The forum is for the members, and they can post about anything, provided it does not violate our guidelines. (which you will find here:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=1293 )
We also have a clear disclaimer on all pages

So perhaps you may have read a few more emphatic posts or threads by some members who feel strongly negative about conventional medicine, but reading more, you will surely find many posts and threads that state the exact opposite viewpoint.
I hope that answers your question and that you will find information and support here at NeuroTalk.
