[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you feel the same if someone writes about having depression (without having had a psychiatrist diagnose them)?[/quote]

If someone claimed they had clinical depression and never sought therapy for it — which would entail a diagnosis — yes, I would feel the same. [/quote]

Op, why do you feel this way? I haven’t been professionally diagnosed with clinical depression, but from reading the symptoms, I know that I have clinical depression. I haven’t sought out therapy because I just haven’t. Been afraid of opening the wounds that I think causes it.

My DS is has been diagnosed with autism, if this lady want to join the struggle, how does that hurt my son?[/quote]

If you have never needed therapy, you don’t have clinical depression, and if you wrote a dramatic blog post all about your clinical depression I would think you were a twit.

You don’t have to feel the same way I do. Part of this is specifically about Nicole Cliff’s position as a Twitter personality in the cancel-culture millieau, and I truly don’t want autism research and treatment mixed up with that nonsense. [/quote]
