Topic: In desperation to protect our loved ones who have illnesses or disorders, it is easy to become emotional and overzealous. We may want to quickly react to reported causations and/or treatments that are touted. Of course, if we could prevent a devastating illness or a developmental disorder in our loved one, we would go for it, right. But sometimes jumping to a treatment or stopping a treatment may not be helpful and could even be dangerous. Today we’ll be talking about why understanding “correlation without causation” is so important as we make medical decisions.
