Oh my gosh the DSM doesn’t let you diagnose adolescents with personality disorders for GOOD REASONS having to do with basic human emotional development. This is irresponsible and ignorant.https://twitter.com/DetransCanada/status/1337896850150584322 …

And honestly, teen girls have to deal with enough sexism in MH treatment, it should not be anyone’s assumption that a self harming, chronically dysregulated teen girl is going to be treatment resistant. She’s growing up! Not the appropriate time for diagnoses w/ permanency.

+ tbh as a clinician who works mainly w/ teens, they’re all on the internet romanticizing cutting/suicide/pro-ana/furrydom- we have to look at both their developmental stage and social context, which at this point in history is WEIRD AS SHIT.
