Here’s a little teaser of what you can expect:

Relying on Non-Expert Groups: Those Facebook groups and chat forums may not be as helpful as you think.
Taking Anecdotal Advice: Medications and interventions that worked for others might not be right for you, and the overload of info can be overwhelming.
