NOTE: Damien Riley is not a therapist or a doctor. NOTE, Since some have asked: he has not been diagnosed with a mental illness. He has participated in cognitive psychology sessions off and on since 1999. He seeks to provide a platform here for open dialog on all forms of psychology and mental illness. He hopes you will participate respectfully. You should see a medical doctor for advice regarding any formal questions you have. This blog is not meant to be a substitute for such a resource.
