Column: Diagnosing your peers isn't real mental health support

Original: Column: Diagnosing your peers isn’t real mental health support

A column in the Daily Tar Heel argues that students casually diagnosing their friends and classmates is not genuine mental health support. The piece cautions that labeling peers with conditions can replace professional care and may do more harm than good. It reflects an ongoing campus conversation about the limits of peer support and the importance of directing people toward trained professionals.

Why now: Ongoing concern about students relying on informal peer diagnosis instead of professional mental health care.
