I think it's a good thing that general knowledge of psychological signs and symptoms is easily accessible. Potential patients are presenting to their doctors able to have mental health conversations and ask for psychiatric referrals and medications that can help them. People used to go undiagnosed their whole lives and doctors got away with ignorance or gaslighting. Nowadays the medical community sees more savvy patients who can better advocate for themselves

I think it's a matter of where you live. For example, here in Italy we study psychology in school but people who diagnose random issues every 2 seconds are extremely rare (and chronically online). There's no need to pathologize everything, you probably just didn't learn well the basics of what you're doing

What you said makes sense if you remove the word amateur.

Meh. Given the current replication crisis in psychology, it's pretty much a pseudoscience anyway.

And what makes you such an expert than you can declare these sweeping conclusions about why people do what they do and think how they think, eh?

I feel like that also comes down to the majority of psychology majors wanting to go into clinical fields instead of experimental.
