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.
