Query: Hi! For Self.com, I’m working on a piece about how to work toward accepting a mental health diagnosis and seeking input from licensed therapists currently in practice with adult clients. Here are my questions:

  1. Why is acceptance important when it comes to managing a mental health diagnosis and living well with it?
  2. How can psychoeducation help someone accept a diagnosis?
  3. How can support from others – like peer support groups — help someone accept a diagnosis? *What else can someone do to work toward accepting a mental health diagnosis?
  4. Is there anything else you’d like to add about this topic?

Requirements: Licensed therapist currently in practice with adult clients, ideally affiliated with a university. Thanks!
