The mental health world is full of a bazillion acronyms, and if you aren't in the field it can be super confusing. This episode is a bit of a crash course in understanding what some of the more common acronyms mean as well as clearing up some confusion on ones that sound way too freaking similar.  *DISCLAIMER* I am NOT a licensed mental health professional, this knowledge comes from my work in the Human Services field as well as my own research, and advocacy work.
