Mental Health Carer Forum

I saw my psychiatrist today and he said something really interesting. He is young, takes a collaborative approach and really ackowledges lived experience. I'm grateful, because not all doctors do this. I went decades un/misdiagnosed and he said that the reason mental health professionals can do better than that now with young people is partly due to learning from the lived experience of the previous generation. I sometimes feel overwhelmed by feelings of futility, but his comment made me feel like my experience is valuable and part of something bigger.
