The Daley Model for Understanding the Mind

So I made this earlier this evening, and thought I'd share it with you all. This is basically what goes on inside my head and it's a model for anyone else with any sort of mental health problems to help them understand what's going on inside their head a little better, and to help mental health professionals understand what needs a patient has. It compliments the idea that the only real diagnosis of someone with mental health issues is themselves, because the human mind is much more complicated than a bit of psychology jargon. So yeah, shown below is my own 'MUM' (Model for Understanding the Mind) and I'd love to know what you think.



I realise that this may not make a lot of sense on it's own to most of you. Which is why I've devised a key. The key may help you to make a 'MUM' of your own, using my ideas. For example if you have the illness Bipolar disorder, your red circles could be 'aspects of bipolar disorder.' or if you experience extreme or risky behaviours, you could put that in a green square as a heading and then list them with black text.


I hope this will be helpful for you guys, and if you pass it on to others, please accredit it to me! Thank you! Love you lots and take care!
