Learnt recently that BPD = Bipolar Disorder can be confused with BPD= Borderline Personality disorder so the poster puts PD= personality disorder (good thinking)

Oh I stumbled upon this thread out of curiosity...
Hi DB and Sez 🙂
Oh yeah, um, I'm not sure if "CA" is a widely recognised acronym (or if It's just me making stuff up lol)...
I saw someone use CSA to refer to "child sexual abuse" (I think it was Corny) on the forums.
So I reasoned that it made sense to drop the "S" and call it CA for "child abuse."
I'm not sure if it's a widely used acronym or not...or whether people here are just very creative 😉

Great idea! Wish I could add to the list but can't think of any at present.
I never knew what GAD was, so thanks for that.
