When to listen and when to ignore advice

Tell me this, would you listen to someone that said I just watched this YouTube video on dental  surgery, you don't need to see the dentist. I can take out those wisdom teeth, because they only want your money. Hopefully you wouldn't, the same rule applies for mental health issues! Without the proper training and experience,  you can honestly potentially kill a person by not having the proper skills to treat and diagnose a person  Unsolicited advice, does more harmful than it does good, and comes from opinions and not actual facts.  In today's world, everyone is a so called expert in health care and nutrition. Really a more exact way to say that is, everyone thinks they are an expert.  I have a psychology degree and ADHD, I'm also a former 911 operator and I have a diploma in Human Services. Yet there is tons of information about myself and others that I'm not aware of. It's not that I don't have the resources to get it, it's more a fact that no one k...

When the biggest obstacle in getting the treatment you need, is your family

This issue is kind of close to me, coming from an abusive family, where they would not only treat me like I was beneath them.

Instead of focusing on the harmful abus...

Adhd and the Obsolete Myths That Surround It

Msisconceptions of ADHD is something I have a fair bit of experience in dealing with. Due to having ADHD. I understand the daily frustrations that they have to unfairly endure throughout their lives.  While additionally debunking these irrelevant myths, and showing that they're based on absolutely nothing other than obsolete information and stereotypes, is something that we all should be doing. In today's world there should be absolutely no place for stigma, but the unfortunate truth is that it's everywhere. Stigma can potentially wreak havoc in that person's life, and be almost impossible to overcome.  Opinions regarding your treatment, whether it's medical, therapeutic or pharmaceutical aspects. Unless the individual you are taking advice from is educated in these areas, with a minimum 4 years of post secondary education. Please take there ignorant comments with a grain of salt, and focus on the advice and diagnosis of qualified medical professionals. What an o...
