We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
If you have poor mental health due to genetic or lifestyle causes, therapists help manage symptoms, develop coping mechanisms and live a functional life. They don't treat 'diversity' any more than nurses and doctors and surgeons treat 'diversity'.
You are not a special rare unique beautiful snowflake just because your mind doesn't function normally, any more than a person with a pacemaker is. You have a condition, it needs treatment, that's all there is to it. Hopefully it isn't a chronic condition and you go back to normal soon, but if not, we pray for your improvement.
