I just want everyone to understand for certain that lived mental illness experience and success as an academic and/or practicing clinical psychologist are NOT mutually exclusive.

So someone having a mental illness doesn’t make them any less capable than someone w/o a mental illness. Totally agree w/ that. Given there exists institutional discrimination making it hard as hell, I’m always wary of falling into the trap of tokenism.
I’m of the weird opinion psychologists (especially academics) who haven’t had direct exposure or experience w/ mental illness definitely don’t have lived experience. I do think that lived experience gives one a deeper understanding of a topic and it’s interplay w/ society
