Damien Riley is not a therapist or a doctor.  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.

This blog accepts compensation for some posts. The amount of the posts written “for hire” shall never exceed about “60%.” Having said that, I as a writer always abide by the highest code of honesty and transparency in my reviews and occasional endorsement of items for compensation. In other words, I don’t write just to get paid, I write to entertain, inform and make the world a better place. You can trust I have thought hard about every post you read here. I encourage you to test the things I say to see if they are true. You shouldn’t take my words as more or less authoritative than anything you read in the newspaper or watch on the evening news.
