Hello Mastodon!
My name is Delilah. (it's my online alias, not a legal name). I am a psychologist and youth counselor, and I mostly work with people suffering from personality disorders, eating disorders, and ASD/ADHD/ADD.
I have had teenage patients as well as adults and even families. In my career I even worked at schools but ended up abandoning that path due to constant defunding, where I no longer could help people without struggling to pay bills.
I will be posting mostly about how mental disorders work and to share some information about them. However I want to make it clear, that what I post should never be a substitute for actual medical consultation, and that I will not do therapy on social media.
I want to keep myself somewhat anonymous to not reveal my real-life identity, and to of course respect privacy laws related to my profession.
Outside of that, I like to keep myself up to date with technology and privacy, as it affects our mental health no matter how much we tend to deny this. I'm a cat mom of two, and love to tend to my mini-garden of vegetables.
I am not from USA, and English is not my first language, so please excuse my mistakes. I also ask to respect my privacy and be kind!
Looking forward to meeting new friends, and hopefully there are some profession peers on Mastodon?
