I’m a therapist who has been working with subcultures such as the
Brony community in order to help other clinicians not over pathologize someone due to fandom. In this panel I’d like to talk about the positive aspects of the Brony community in regards to mental health concerns. For example how did the fandom help someone be less socially anxious, or less depressed. I also want to talk a bout the stigma faced by this community by peers and sadly by other mental health providers. (Panelist: Serenity Sersecion)
