What kinda acronyms do you want to know? I am not sure what you are looking for but I'm assuming you want some on mental health? I'll list some below, sorry if it isn't what you were wanting

GAD: general anxiety disorder

OCD: obsessive compulsive disorder

PTST: post traumatic stress disorder

ADHD: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

BP: bipolar disorder

MDD: major depressive disorder

LGBTQI+: lesbian gay bisexual transgender queer intersex + more community (not mental illness but still)

BPD: borderline personality disorder

these are some of the main ones. hope this helps

Hi 9 Names Later, you might find it easier to use Google for searching the terms you're after, and we can keep the discussions here focused on mental health.

Well hello Sophie_M

It was about here and mental health,it was about me or anyone trying to understand what some people post. There are some people that are not used to being on technology.

Thanks for your post.

I do find google very useful. I just go into google and in the search bar type in what I'm wanting to know. E.g ATM. Google then usually has results come up. It can be tricky at first but googling does become easier. Google can also be my saviour as I am dyslexic and sometimes I can't spell words, so I google how it sounds and it will find the actual word for me. What would I do without it?

ATM means at the moment and BTW means by the way and FYI means for your information
