@Mental_Elf Every claim has a basis, but not every base is stable. Respect every claim on its basis but wisdom is not to build upon unstable bases!

@Shrink_at_Large @socio_plath We have some luxuries denied to our General Adult colleagues. Often thinking about the long term picture rather than from crisis to crisis.

A fascinating essay by a professional philosopher about his experience of schizophrenia.

“There have been near-collapses, but I have managed to keep a job for 30 years. I have not, until recently, been open about my diagnosis…”

@BBCMOTD Still in the title race then?

[Nuruz Zaman @DocZamanNuruz]

@hundredfamilies Relevant factors would include: loss of supportive conditions eg frequent changes in RC’s/Social supervisors, variability in accommodation, access to substances, treatment changes. Wonder whether tribunal’s now have a lower threshold for conditional release?

[Nuruz Zaman @DocZamanNuruz]

@hundredfamilies One question for the graph, has there be a cumulative increase in restricted patients as a potential explanation. Has the overall recall rate increased as a result. Possible explanations if so?

@BBCMOTD Too complicated for average punditry? What do you think?

Ana di Pištonja, also known as Baba Anujka, was a serial killer in Yugoslavia who committed between 50 and 150 murders using her "love potions" that she sold to women who were having marital problems. The woman gave these arsenic-laced potions to their husbands, killing then days later. She was apprehended in 1928 at the age of 90, but due to her advanced age, she was released after 8 years. She died in 1938 aged 100.

@SameiHuda Claim. ‘Psychiatry has no valid research base to justify actions.’……….but now I claim, ‘this research shows psychiatric actions are wrong.’

It’s hard to know who and what to trust these days…

But this incredible clip nails it

Simply:

Don’t trust idiots

And how do you spot an idiot?

Look for the people who are cruel…

Huge meta-analysis shows mortality in people with schizophrenia is greater than those in the general population but pharmacotherapy (most notably clozapine) can significantly shrink the mortality gap. https://t.co/oZbx0WSyBq
