DIY Psychiatry: Help or Hype?

The DIY psychiatry trend is blowing up, with more people ditching traditional mental health care for peer advice and self-management. While it’s empowering to take charge, experts warn that skipping professional help can backfire—think relapse, worsening symptoms, and missing out on real recovery. The sweet spot? Mixing peer support with a solid, collaborative relationship with your clinician. It’s all about teamwork, not going it alone! #MentalHealthMatters #DIYPsychiatry #PeerSupport #PatientCare #SharedDecisionMaking #Health
