TIL I can formally diagnose myself as clinically insane, and it would have absolutely no effect on my job and I can still see patients and do everything else that I normally do.
Your psychologist could be totally batshit crazy and this is totally fine according to our regulatory board.

TIL the Imperial measuring system is actually metric thanks to some shenanigans by Ford and Johansson in the 1920s which defined the inch as exactly 25.4mm.
