The Mind BreakDown Blog

Respect, Confidentiality and Safety

Additional Disclaimer

I write the mind breakdown blogs from personal experience and thus include real persons, places and events. I will not discuss or use any persons real names, but rather refer to them by their profession or use an alias that by no way relates to the actual individual. I do discuss personal struggles but will avoid specifics, when possible, in respect to those that may find details triggering. I want to share my story to help others, but not by sacrificing safety. I truly believe that you do not need to know my specific trauma(s) to be able to relate or understand where I am coming from.

I give my best effort to have proper references, data sources, and accurate information but the need for boundaries may override this. For example, I discuss different medications and side effects I have personally experienced but do not disclose the specific brands to prevent possibly influencing someone else's treatment. Having boundaries creates respect and safety, both of which are important aspects of healing.

I am NOT a mental health professional. I do not have any professional training and only speak from personal experience. The topics I discuss in Mind BreakDown should not replace services from healthcare professionals and should only be used as an information source or entertainment. I encourage everyone to seek out the support and help that works for them and to dig deeper into topics that I discuss for themselves.
