# Expressions

{% hint style="success" icon="check" %} <i class="fa-compass">:compass:</i> This is where the PRRT2 Foundation's own voice gets room to stretch.
{% endhint %}

Across the rest of the site, you'll find short amber **🧭 Foundation Note** callouts — brief asides where we step out of the plain reporting voice to offer our synthesis or lived experience. **Expressions is where those asides become full essays:** deep dives into the issues we believe deserve real discussion, written from experience and conviction rather than consensus.

## What this is — and isn't

These are **authored, dated opinion pieces.** They are not established medical consensus, and they are not medical advice. Everything here is clearly our perspective, offered alongside the science — never as a substitute for your own clinician, and never as a reason to start, stop, or change a treatment on your own.

The reference sections of this site stay evergreen and carefully cited. These essays are different by design: they take positions. When we argue something here, we'll point you back to the established pages so you can see exactly where our perspective departs from settled science — and judge for yourself.

## Join the conversation

Each piece is meant to start a discussion, not end one. If something here resonates — or if you see it differently — that's the point. You can take it up with the community through [Links & Support](https://www.prrt2.org/resources/links-and-support) or add your own experience on [Patient Stories](https://www.prrt2.org/living-with-prrt2/patient-stories).

## Articles

* [Beyond the Blunt Instruments](/expressions/articles/beyond-blunt-instruments.md) — on the lack of targeted PRRT2 drugs, and the real cost of the borrowed ones
* [How Many of Us Are There?](/expressions/articles/how-many-of-us.md) — the PRRT2 count, the invisible thousands, and the official number that's almost certainly wrong by an order of magnitude
* [The Expression Continues](/expressions/articles/the-expression-continues.md) — how the field's own reference text stopped calling PRRT2 a childhood movement disorder, and why "grow out of it" no longer holds

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.prrt2.org/expressions/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
