Asking because not only did I suspect my (now former) boss to be like that, there was also a massive meltdown in a specific content creation space where an otherwise extremely kind CC was exposed as... being a bit special. So I thought I should try to get better at spotting ppl like that in order to not burn myself

Edit: Thanks everyone. I guess I didn't word it correctly but my goal wasn't to "diagnose" someone. I'm Autistic & am working in a field that allegedly attracts lots of hyper-competitive/toxic ppl, so I want to protect myself. That's why. I already saw tons of useful comments so

No, there is not a way for a layman to spot mental health issues and reliably diagnose them. This is true across the board regardless of circumstances because mental health issues constantly overlap and require a lot of work to properly diagnose at a professional level.

I don't think they mean clinical diagnosis, more of like an interpersonal diagnosis.

I believe they are just asking for how to identify red flags.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I know exactly what they asked and the answer is still "no".

If you aren't a mental health expert you aren't equipped to ever make mental health judgement.

There are instruction videos on yt about this specific question, and they aren't that hard to follow.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yes Youtube, the bastion of medical education.

Fact of the matter is I am right and I am not here to argue about it.
