May is Mental Health Awareness Month - and while awareness has definitely increased, so has misinformation.
Today, psychology reels, motivational quotes, "healing" advice and self diagnosis quizzes are everywhere on social media. While some content may help people feel seen or start conversations, it's important to remember that mental health is far more complex than a 30s reel.
Not everyone piece of advice online is meant for you.
Not every emotional struggle is a diagnosis.
Not every person calling themselves a 'Coach' is trained to handle Trauma and other psychological concerns.
Social media psychology is often philosophical, generalised and oversimplified.
Healing is personal.
Please reach out to the right person and I definitely urge you to check and enquire about their qualifications.
