One of the few things I like about Reddit is that there are many genuinely supportive communities for people with mental health concerns. It would be nice to have something similar in a more comradely space.
I'm quite familiar with psychopharmacology and various therapeutic modalities (not to be construed as medical advice), so I'd be happy to help moderate such a community (I'm not sure how the moderator thing works on Lemmy; is it like reddit with community specific mods?). I can share some example posts if interested.
a mental health community would be great but imo it would need pretty thorough moderation. like, i currently engage with a lot of mental health spaces and have moderated them before and i gotta say it can get real bad real fast even in the most supportive communities.
i'd prefer it to not be strictly treatment-related just on the basis that this is an anti-capitalist site and i'd hope we can have nuanced critiques of psychiatry here, but ultimately i think just having a space for mentally ill people to talk about their experiences and vent (within reason) is good. solidarity in mental health struggles has always been one of the most important things for me and destigmatization is necessary on the left just as much as everywhere else.
