Terrific work. I share your frustration with these self-diagnoses. I worked at a psych hospital for years and would often hear patients say "oh, that's just my ADD." I would ask them what they were doing to reduce their symptoms or build resiliency and they always said nothing. They just wanted the excuse.

Also this trend of advertising your mental illnesses in your Twitter bio is completely ridiculous. Publicly telling everyone you have depression is a great sign you don't.

How dare you, only a bigot would ever suggest that the Tide Pods generation is (checks notes) highly prone to suggestion through social media
