Cutee capriconzPublished 10 months ago in PsycheFinding yourself as an Indigenous person diagnosed with ADHD.

I only got diagnosed last year, after practically begging my treaty-promised healthcare provider to see a psychiatrist then to only have to convince the dismissive doctor that I deserved to be evaluated.

Jade HaumannPublished 10 months ago in PsycheDecoding Psychopathy and Sociopathy: Unraveling the Intricacies of Distinct Personality Disorders
Upon the conclusion of our favorite murder documentary, my friends and I found ourselves seated on the couch, absorbing the events that had transpired.

Perhaps you, too, find yourself intrigued by the distinction between a psychopath and a sociopath.
