Well I am new here and im certainly certainly very very very SORRY if i opened a wrong thread in a wrong place. But I just want to know whether this website has professional psychologists or psychatrists that can offer help to others or are there only depressed people here?
THANK U SO MUCH!

I have a Bachelor in Science with a minor in psychology. Though most of what I learned is now outdated. What is not available here is diagnosis or treatment. You have to meet with a psychologist or psychiatrist or other mental health care professional.

Might be surprised at what you can learn from others with mental health issues.

Hey Nabil,

I'm agreeing with bebop here. DocJohn is the creator of this website, and he does fall under the title of "professional".

We do have members here who have degrees in psychology/psychiatry, but they're usually here for their own issues and not just to help others.

This is a "peer support" website, meaning that most of the help people get is from others who have been in the same situation or dealt with the same stuff.
