I know it's a long shot, but... · 10:10am Sep 6th, 2016
...is anyone that follows me at all knowledgeable in psychology? I took AP Psychology in high school, which was basically enough to teach me I don't know much at all about the subject lol. Specifically, I have questions concerning mental disorders and the diagnosing of them. Expertise in child psychology in that area would be particularly helpful, but I know I'll be lucky if anyone has any experience at all 
Oh, and this is about my writing. I'm not like trying to diagnose some kids with mental disorders irl or anything like that. The questions I have in mind might involve some plot spoilers for an upcoming story, but it would certainly be doing me a solid 
I'll have you know I have a degree in Armchair Psychology!
...Seriously though I also took some classes, but probably not enough to speak with any authority on the subject, especially not specifically child psychology.
I'm a psych major, but next year I take child psychology. I might be able to help a bit though.
What kind of questions are we looking at? I mean, mental disorders and how to diagnose them is kind of a broad subject, so it's hard to say if I'll know anything that can help without a little more information. As spoiler-free as possible, of course.
I'm not a professional psychologist, but I have looked into the subject as a hobby and might be of some help.
