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.

    I would love this type of community, but I'm worried about the potential for it to become a self reinforcing pit like r/depression could be. Perhaps we could include an element of an explicit positivity/support board? I find discussions of mental health go best with copious images of kitties with little hats or scarves.
