there may be many members who have not been diagnosed for a number of different reasons, including not having insurance nor being independently wealthy enough to pay out of pocket.

there are also members here who are here to learn about mental illness so that they can be more helpful to a friend or family member. mental illness touches many lives, those who suffer from it personally and those who support .......we all deserve support and that is why we are open to all.

our mission statement says it all -

The purpose of the Forums at Psych Central is simple -- it's a small community devoted to support for mental health and relationship issues.
support doesn't come from only those who are diagnosed, it can come from anyone, anywhere at anytime. i think that kind of diversity is what makes our site so wonderful!

Thanks for this!
