Pop psych has really got people by the scruff of the neck but I suppose this was inevitable when we live in a world that has a mental health professional shortage and even less avenues for most people to access decent mental health services.
Still, I get frustrated when terminology and language around mental health is misused on a daily basis.
“Narcissistic” instead of “selfish.”
“My anxiety” instead of “uncomfortable.”
“ADHD” instead of “distracted.”
Truly, I just want people to realise that self-diagnosis is the first step of many to establishing any given conditions but… you lot aren’t trying to hear all that.
