Common occurrence evaluating depressed client:
Me: I see you are taking "antidepressants"
Client: Yes I have tried so many & been on "antidepressants" for years
Me: Why continue to take them when you feel so bad? Clients: Im afraid it could get even worse
This is brainwashing
The tragedy of psych drug withdrawal is this: we do it because many of us HAVE TO, no one believes the severity unless they’ve been through it, we lose jobs, support, friends, and then our doctors don’t even believe us. None of us gets back the YEARS we lost, lost income…
We are devastated to share that on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, we were informed of the passing of our friend, colleague, and Medical Director, Christy Huff, M.D. https://t.co/TWUc2iELev
It’s not just the narcissist who abuses you. It’s the flying monkeys who do their bidding. It’s the enablers who turn a blind eye to toxicity. It’s people outside the situation saying “get over it�� and victim blaming. It’s anyone who denies the existence of narcissistic abuse.
#BritneyAkathisia
Since pop star, @britneyspears,' discharge from a mental health facility in 2019, many of her 47 million Instagram followers have wondered "what went wrong," why "she seems much worse than ever before," and why she "can't ever stay still."
Please watch our latest video for evidence that medication-induced #akathisia may be at least partially to blame, and share it so that it may reach people who can help Britney.
For clinicians: Please visit https://t.co/PR4HMnPpUP for peer-reviewed evidence that akathisia cannot be ruled out in Britney's case. We have lost nearly 100 members of one akathisia support group to suicide, so the stakes are very high.

Can we stop calling this psychiatric drug withdrawal & start calling it a pharmaceutical injury / signaling neuro adaption of the brain & CNS. People are having severe effects while still on the drugs or from 1 pill 1 shot of something. It’s all the same INJURY, not a wd state.
Stefan developed #akathisia in 2020. Since then, he has been repeatedly misdiagnosed, involuntarily hospitalized, and poly-drugged. This is Stefan today, three years later.
We've had another devastating loss. Dr. Judith Barr had suffered from #akathisia for several years. Although she was an M.D., Judith's doctors would not diagnose akathisia. Instead, she was diagnosed with a functional neurological disorder like most akathisia sufferers.
Judith had made a nearly-complete recovery and enjoyed two years free from the torture of akathisia. Her akathisia returned in the recent months and she found the torture too much to bear. Now, her husband has lost his wife and their son will grow up without a mother.
Our community is heart-broken once again.
What hurts the most is knowing that someone is silently struggling to survive. That someone’s life is about to end, & we won’t understand until we witness their suicide. That we couldn’t help them or say goodbye before their demise because we didn’t see the pain they hid inside.
You can create a reality for a vulnerable & impressionable teenagers around being mentally ill. If you communicate their struggles as "mental illness" they will become this. Getting to young people early is about creating customers for life. The Mental Health Industrial complex.
@ShazaMichelle I’m sorry for your pain but so glad you were given the information to make an informed decision. So many aren’t given the facts. Good for you on your choice and I hope you feel better!
