What makes you qualified to call yourself experts in mental health when the majority of you appear to be content creators of some sort with little to no clinical background working with clients with mental health issues?

What are your thoughts on film studies programs like the one at UCSB?

Thank you for your response!

Most therapists now in the US are marriage and family therapists (mft) or licensed clinical social workers (lcsw). The programs for each usually consist of 2 years of masters level work , 2 years of clinical practice (accruing clinical hours, I think lcsws need a bit more than mfts), and then passing a licensure exam.

Do you think there has been an uptick in people self diagnosing themselves with disorders such as autism and do you find this problematic?
