The New Loneliness and Social Media

This has been a busy week! I’ve taken on several new patients, and I’m thinking about writing a paper to submit to a local university. I’m hoping to use social media to evaluate the justifiability of ‘five axis’ DSM diagnosis and perhaps develop new avenues of treatment based on group evaluations. One of the patients who came into my office this week was particularly interesting. Perhaps he will make a good test candidate.

On another note, a few months ago, I noticed this article. It has a lot to say about how connecting online can disconnect us in the real world. What do you think?

    This sound very interesting. If there are more openings for “test candidates” I’d like to be considered.

    Seconding. I’d say we both could benefit from such an experience.

    Hi all! Thanks for your eagerness :) I think I’ll stick with current patients for now, but I would love your thoughts in figuring out how to help my new patient. Stay tuned for more information, and thanks for visiting!
