List of mental health related abbreviations.

I realise that some newer members of this site don't know what things like SI, AD, AP, MH, ED etc mean, so I was thinking that we should compile a list of abbreviations commonly used on this site and what they mean, to help those that don't know.

So any suggestions?


PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.

I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.

I always thought that BPD was borderline personality disorder.

*confusion*

Good list, and good idea though
