In this episode Lindsay and Stacy discuss SELF DIAGNOSIS. Post-pandemic there is an increase in the need for mental health treatment and a shortage of therapists. Many clients share that before they sought treatment they used the internet to self diagnose their mental health concerns. We explore:

- What a clinical diagnosis consists of and how therapists and psychologists diagnose clients. Including information about client interviews, tests/scales and neuropsychological testing.

-The positives of gathering information on possible diagnoses and how to use online research in a helpful manner.

-The negatives of self diagnosis and things to look out for when researching possible mental health issues.
