Asking because not only did I suspect my (now former) boss to be like that, there was also a massive meltdown in a specific content creation space where an otherwise extremely kind CC was exposed as… being a bit special. So I thought I should try to get better at spotting ppl like that in order to not burn myself
Edit: Thanks everyone. I guess I didn’t word it correctly but my goal wasn’t to “diagnose” someone. I’m Autistic & am working in a field that allegedly attracts lots of hyper-competitive/toxic ppl, so I want to protect myself. That’s why. I already saw tons of useful comments so
No, there is not a way for a layman to spot mental health issues and reliably diagnose them. This is true across the board regardless of circumstances because mental health issues constantly overlap and require a lot of work to properly diagnose at a professional level.
I don’t think they mean clinical diagnosis, more of like an interpersonal diagnosis.
I believe they are just asking for how to identify red flags.
There are instruction videos on yt about this specific question, and they aren’t that hard to follow.
Ah yes Youtube, the bastion of medical education.
Fact of the matter is I am right and I am not here to argue about it.
