I hadn't realized the website had a connection to the Deep Health Network which is a group of Health Related Sites which gives our Community access to tens of thousands of health related articles, blogs, questions/answers and expert advice. It made me start to understand that this website was more than just a forum for posting about one's problems. Instead the people who visit the site are able to research articles that are related to the issues they are having. Videos are also posted that offer answers, tips, and 'happy ending' stories for moral encouragement. The image above shows a sampling of the various videos people can find on the website. There is also a tip section that people can post various pieces of advice in which can be very beneficial for those who are not looking to simply vent.
This site seems as though it offers a positive forum for users to discuss issues and receive helpful tips and motivation for whatever it is they may be researching. I am wondering if you have come across any 'support groups' which encourage unhealthy behaviors (you may just be focusing on this single site). I remember learning about a site/s in high school where people suffering from anorexia or bulimia would go to encourage each other to continue engaging in these unhealthy behaviors. Do you think negative sites like these should be regulated in anyway or do people have a right to engage in these discussions even though they may be self destructive?
