Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home. They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️



Patient goes to multiple psychiatrists. They all confirm BPD as the appropriate diagnosis. Patient agrees. Begins treatment. Then one day patient’s therapist says “I don’t know why all these doctors are labeling you BPD, you have autism and CPTSD.” Patient’s psychiatrist says “Don’t listen to the therapist, it’s ridiculous that they’re diagnosing you like this.” Patient runs to the internet forums, upset and confused, to try and gain clarity. They find none. And this is the story of patient, after patient, after patient. How do patients make a judgment call on who is giving them the “right” treatment approach, when they don’t know therapy or psychiatry or labels? Do they trust the psychiatrist who says not to listen to the therapist? Or the therapist who says not to listen to the doctor? Or the people in forums who tell them all kinds of different things? How can patients be guided with more clarity, so they aren’t left feeling confused and hopeless of ever finding a path forward?

A lot of people are mistakingly diagnosing personality pathology as Autism and anyone who has spent time in autism communities see them come in and wreck absolute havoc 😵
