I'm not recommending that anyone do this. I was simply trying to address your questions/comments. Clearly I don't have access to any verifiable information on the subject—note that I've simply asked colleges and former schoolmates—I've not researched this topic at length), but you're still pushing it as if you've got something to prove. I admitted that, yes, I misspoke (or rather miswrote) and intended to suggest psychotherapy. Would you like to ask me a question regarding the underlying reason you're responding?
How does this make you feel?

Did you miss the "if"? Again, I wasn't quoting a study, but rather posing a hypothetical question.
