Happy Transgender Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

1/ For all the haters calling me as a psychologist not a real doctor/ not equivalent to mds 1. Clinical PhD programs are harder to get into than medical school 2. PhDs are trained in scientific methods- mds are not. We are actually trained to read & do science

Verified sounds nice But why are we paying the Richest man alive A haiku

Happy one year anniversary of being threatened with board action for “defamation” & acting “highly unethical” simply for asking a very popular MH creator to verify their licensure.

This morning American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry deleted an inaccurate/misleading graphic re: training of Clinical Psychologists (PhDs) vs Psychiatrists (MDs). Deleting that was a noble first step, yet it is not enough. I call on AACAP to tweet a far more accurate depiction of the training of PhDs vs MDs.

Thanks for grabbing a screenshot Colette Delawalla M.A., M.S.! Not only is this a gross underrepresentation of our training & hours, there are many other differences including prescribing meds, psychological testing, frequency of service delivery, etc.

It wasn’t just offensive, it was grossly inaccurate. Post undergrad, I did 7 more years of training and accrued about 8,000 supervised clinical hours before I was eligible to be licensed as a psychologist.

Friendly reminder that ADHD was introduced in the DSM in 1987 (DSM-III-TR) to replace ADD & the ADHD subtypes were introduced in 1994 (DSM-IV). ADD has not been a recognized diagnosis for over 30 years; this is not a new change.

One thing I don’t understand about people on TT is they will comment something on your post, but when you make a video responding to their comment, they get upset that you made a public video. Don’t make a public comment if you don’t want a public response.

Only 4% of therapists are Black. 8% are Latinx. 11% are Asian. 0.4% are Indigenous 12% are LGBTQ This is why what we do is culture shifting.
