Let's say you met a psychologist who asked you for advice about their work, e.g. concerning psychotherapy, medication, treatment of patients, and suicidality. What would you tell them?
Ididot had his diplomaS on the wall looool.I would say you need me as much as you think I need you. Also, true story, multiple years ago I asked my psychologist if he needed his diplomas on the wall for external validation? That was my last appointment with him.
It saddens me that the DSM (the diagnostic manual) is primarily used for insurance purposes!Study the illnesses and diseases that are less talked about, stigmatized, or uncommon. I don't want to hear any more excuses about psychiatrists not knowing about DID, BPD, Psychosis, etc. Learn about it, educate yourselves, people are relying on you to diagnose us properly, destigmatize it, and help us get treatment for distressing symptoms. You shouldn't be unwilling to learn about or unwilling to work with people with certain mental illnesses. They're coming to you requesting help from themselves and their symptoms, don't remain ignorant on purpose.
