Summary
Hello, friends! Apologies for the unexpected lapse in episodes last week. Had some family stuff come up on my normal recording night and I was slammed with clinical work for the rest of the week. I'm back with a great Q&A episode this week though! Here are the questions covered:
- How can I regulate my depression and self-criticism while gaming competitively?
- Do I need to get additional testing to switch my ADHD medications?
- Is it bad that I'm obsessed with suicide-related content?
As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com
