Being a young doctor isn't a disclaimer. It's a different kind of clinical expertise.
That includes doom-scrolling, burnout culture, and Googling symptoms at 2am.
No inherited habits. No 30-year-old reflexes. Just what the research says now.

My editorial approach
Every page on this site reflects what I tell my own patients: understanding what you're experiencing is the first step toward getting the help you need. Content is grounded in DSM-5-TR criteria and peer-reviewed literature, written for accuracy without clinical coldness. Language a patient, a family member, or a curious person can actually use.
