Imo If you need mental health help seeking it on the web is not the best place. There are some ppl i ran into on that site looking to take advantage of others.
I did thou make some very good friends there. There were some true and honest ppl there.
Imo...
Imo there was no safety net for kids there. Chat rooms are open for all registered.
Imo it can contribute to mental health issues including computer addiction, abuse on the net
I watched a few of my friends there be attacked for no reason and also banned with no reason given... IMO things took place in chat that should not have been allowed. They were brought up to adms
Imho it could be a haven for cyberbullys and criminals which really makes me wonder? How does this help mental health.
My other thought is? Are the moderators and adms team trained? Jmho
Please be careful on the net. Not is all as it seems imho.
P.S. ALways remember to keep your self safe on the net
Answer: Yes, Evan. He is a Licensed PsyD. That is all. He does not practice IN REAL LIFE. He never has. He has made millions on this very DANGEROUS site. I am (was on that site for years on and off) in complete agreement with you-- this site ought to be RESTRICTED. I hope I was able to answer your questions. Take care of you-- Deyzanne PhD
Answer: Well, it's free advice. So I would take that into consideration about whether you should take it or leave it. For some people, I'm sure it helps. For others, maybe not so much.
Answer: Psych Central is not a good "Source" to use as a reviewer. If you can read the reviews here about the site, (aside from the ones the Moderators from the site wrote which were all "Positive"-- they get paid to do that) you will see that it is not a reputable site, not insofar as former members who were seriously injured by the site; nor are many of the purported "Therapists" actual therapists. (If they are indeed Therapists, they are not very good ones!) IMHO, not a good place to get a Review from. The site is flailing these days. Once upon a time, it had a good reputation; and was a decent place-- but like all things in life, that has changed over the years. I wish you well.
