Editing This Page For a Class!

Latest comment: 9 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi all! Hope you are well. I'm messaging here because I'll likely be making some edits over the next two months on this page as a part of a class assignment. Particularly, I plan to add to or clarify text from the Critique subsections "Obscuring the Root Causes of Psychological Distress" & "Overdiagnosis." I'll be mainly staying out of the way of the larger stuff, so I hope I can contribute to the knowledge base in smaller, more subtle ways. I want to thank you in advance for your suggestions... I appreciate your patience while I figure out Wikipedia :) Klrgmclass (talk) 02:42, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
