Definitely a valid point. Discussion is something there should be more of on a lot of fronts.

True, although speculation like the discussion here isn’t productive or responsible given existing mental health stigma and misinformation. I'm most disturbed by a clinician above who used her credentials to somehow imply some level of surety to her claims about diagnosis, which is absurd.

I’m sorry. You lost me somewhere amid the run on sentences and random capitalization. I am, in fact, an MSW and independently licensed with supervisory designation in my state, and that’s specifically why I made the comment. Clinicians shouldn’t be referencing their credentials and making a call about diagnoses based…

Fuck that. It's totally normal to feel trapped when your kids are small and literally occupying 80% of your brain and using all of your energy and I'm so tired of living in a culture where it's a weakness to admit that in a safe space. I'm a therapist just recently going solo in private practice and I very much want…

Reading through the actual text messages in this situation makes me so sad. I'm glad she's going to trial. https://lintvwpri.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/respon…

She looks less doe eyed in other photos and articles.

Clinical therapist here and this may come as a shock but it's kind of unlikely that any of you are going to accurately diagnose either of these people with secondhand info from the news, licensed or not. A little disturbed that an MSW above chose to speculate.

Stop feeding the troll. That person is clearly fucking with you or has no ability to hear words. I understand what you're saying and you've made some reasonable points. Don't sweat the troll.

I’m in the greys so my comments are probably sitting in the void, but I’m with you on this. It’s not ok just because it’s a terrible person. If you wouldn’t joke about Hitler’s dick in a room where you know another guy in the room has the same issue, then there's something wrong. And I wouldn't. So it feels wrong.

Why is it okay if it’s about one of the worst people in the world? Would you feel okay joking about it in a room at a party where you know a guy in the room has the same issue with his own penis? Would that guy totally not feel weird because of course you’re ONLY making fun of Hitler? I’m guessing that would result in…

Best comment ever. All time.

Does your long comment explain why you’re trolling the comment section? I couldn’t be bothered to read the whole thing, so this is a SUPER legitimate question.

This will likely fade away in the greys, but it’s worth waiting for the full story when a story like this involves someone over 65. As a mental health professional who works in geriatric psych, the first thing I wondered was “escalating dementia behaviors?” because that story is COMMON as a precursor to admission to…

Whaaaaaaat. Hush thy foolish mouth.

I feel like the person who reads this, is white, and takes offense because of X Y or Z is probably the problematic white person mentioned. I am white. I didn’t take offense. I listened. I work in a field where I have occasional opportunity to do the right thing and also advocate for minorities and I try to do the best…

I wish I could triple star this. ❤️

Love your intention but don't feed the troll.

Golden. 😘

Whaaaaat? Your eyes need glasses. 😐

My mother has lied her entire life about having breast cancer. I had my doubts because I was old enough, I thought, to have remembered her accounts of puking and such, but then I had a surprisingly honest conversation with my father (who isn’t my biological father - another lie of my mother’s for years, we’ve had a…
