Stop pathologising human experience. It's what happened not what's wrong. Adversity - trauma - emotional distress - madness - healing - hearing/having voices.

Neurodiversity - what exactly does it mean?

The first in a 4 part blog series.

My 150+ research papers, since 1997, have now been cited 25,000 times (Google Scholar).
This won’t stop the ‘medical model’ psychiatrists and their followers trying to denigrate me as “anti-psychiatry” “Scientologist” “pill-shamer” etc.
But cause for celebration any way perhaps?

“The pandemic of mental anguish that afflicts our time cannot be properly understood, or healed, if viewed as a private problem suffered by damaged individuals.” It’s now the time to re-politicise our approach to mental pain & distress.

― Mark Fisher

[Prof James Davies 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

For GenZ, the neurofication of everyday life is depoliticising more & more forms of adverse human experience as rooted in fixed neuro-disabilities, that need to be accommodated, rather than in various forms of structural harm & oppression that need to be confronted & overthrown.

[Dr Evgeny Legedin 🇷🇺 @DrEvgenyLegedin]

This is their results of 50 years of genetic research into schizophrenia. Add up hundreds of genes to account for 20%. Nothing of value to a patient. Billions of pounds to get to that. One of the greatest scams in history.

A big win for long-time critics. The leaders of Global Mental Health finally join the UN, WHO & other organisations to shift away from biomedical dominance towards embracing a rights-based, community-centered, culturally sensitive psychosocial approach.

Oh do shut up !
No-one of any significance listens to you any more - and many never did.

[Laura Delano @LauraDelano]

As long as the mind continues to be viewed as territory to be claimed by experts, suffering continues to be turned into a commodity to be “treated” by licensed professionals, and doctors continue to be seen as the go-to source for solutions (medical, social, or otherwise), we will remain disabled as individuals and communities. That being said, it’s good to see shifting coverage on these issues in the media.

"Inpatient psychiatry is not a place of psychological healing; it is devoid of compassion and full of human rights abuses"

“There is increasing recognition that in just about every case, people break down and have very real experience of distress because of what goes on in their lives.”

Great to see our Curious Minds workshop with Dr Lucy Johnstone exploring the @PTMFramework featured in the @irish_news!

Many thanks to Dr Johnstone for her inspiring work, to @CathMcGin_Tea for this article, and to everyone who was part of the workshop with @FeileGG last week.

Once your distress has been medicalised, medicated & depoliticised, the government will now prescribe its final remedy: cutting your financial support so that you're now forced to return to the precarious, low paid & demoralising work that made you miserable in the first place.

[Prof James Davies 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

My letter published in The Guardian today👇: “By misrepresenting socially caused distress as a medical issue, we run the risk of wrongly individualising, pathologising & depoliticising that distress, & so exonerating social conditions from responsibility.”https://t.co/4NcSUaMuB3
