More and more mental health professionals are talking about psychology on social networks. A way to make it accessible. This is the case of Caroline Depuydt, followed by 93,000 subscribers.
It was 2-3 years ago, following the Covid crisis, that Caroline Depuydt, general psychiatrist and medical director of the Epsylon psychiatric group in Brussels, began to publish videos on networks: “I found that social networks were a way to talk about mental health to a large audience in an accessible and destigmatizing manner”.
Short videos for long questions
His favorite social network? Tiktok, where she posts videos of a maximum minute by answering mental health questions: “Either I define a disorder (‘what is bipolarity?’, ‘ADHD in one minute’), or I offer easy strategies in the face of disabling symptoms (‘What is cardiac coherence?’, ‘Something to manage an anxiety crisis, or even about a treatment, like benzodiazepines.

Serious but accessible
Caroline Depuydt addresses all these themes with simple and reassuring words, although the content is serious and scientifically validated: “It seems to me that the current world needs to hear positive and tenfold words to moderate anxiety and the injunctions present everywhere”. His background message is also to the endorsement: do the best you can, be benevolent towards yourself.
The requirements that we have towards ourselves are disproportionate. This adds guilt to our existential difficulties
“I find that the requirements that we have towards ourselves are disproportionate, she tells us. This adds guilt to our existential difficulties. While we are dealing with a little more indulgence, we are already reducing pressure”.
Surprising audiences
Caroline DEPUYDT is surprised by the different audiences she touches: “It is clear that I reach an audience wider than that which I receive in consultation … Students who tell me that my videos help them to better understand the concepts of psychiatry, professionals like paramedics or firefighters, regularly in contact with people who have psychiatric pathologies, relatives who seek to help their entourage …”.

Personalized follow -up remains necessary!
The specialist warns, however: “It is obvious that these contents do not replace individualized psychic follow -up. These are very global concepts or advice and they must be taken with caution. They do not correspond to everyone and cannot be a standardized response. Professional follow -up remains absolutely necessary when you suffer from mental disorders”.
