T = Therapist
SI = Suicidal Imagining/Intention(not sure which)
SUI = ?? (Was in the same thread as 'SI' so I assume they're related)
LCM = ?? (some type of therapist from what I could gather from the context of the post)
PDOC = ?? (Primary Doctor?)
I've always felt that knowledge is power, and that ignorance is the most damaging and nefarious force in this world. Spreading some knowledge might help everyone get better...  |
 
Even if I attempt to look them up, most likely I'll get multiple answers. And some acronyms may not even be related to mental illness.
Sometimes I don't want to admit I don't know the meaning of something.
Also, since my aceess to the Internet is very limited, I don't always have the time to stop and look something up. So, a dictionary would be GREAT. Or, folks can merely spell out the meaning in parentheses. That would help, as then folks wouldn't need to look it up.
