I crave human connection, but I can’t seem to find it.

The grief of realizing that you’ve spent years making sure other people felt seen while rarely feeling truly seen yourself.

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

The idea that people are being prescribed prescription drugs in response to grief is offensive to me.
First... there is no such thing as an antidepressant or anti-grief. It's a marketing scam.
Most importantly... You need to feel that pain.
To experience loss is human.

The world doesn't have a mental health problem. The world has an SSRI problem!

Chemical lobotomy is the new normal for psychiatry

Patients deserve more options and better

[Monica @InsularEntropy]

Akathisia is reason enough not to take psychiatric drugs.

Responsible people do not encourage psychiatric drug use knowing that you can end up with tardive akathisia from just about every single psychiatric drug that can be prescribed. It’s very treatment refractory.

not having some close friends that you can hang out with constantly or talk constantly truly does something to you and your psyche

the only time i beg is to differ

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

New meds to deal with the side effects of the old meds is not healthcare!

Red Light Therapy for symptom management during protracted withdrawal? Thoughts? #protractedwithdrawal #psychmeds

Don’t talk like you know what akathisia is unless you’ve actually experienced it.

[blue @bluewmist]

I cannot express this enough, you have NO IDEA what other people carry with them EVERYDAY. You have NO IDEA what someone's life is like.Don't create more pain & stress to others. BE KIND. BE GENUINE. Stop being so mean to people to fulfill whatever it is you don't like about you

getting addicted to a video game is good actually cause it means you spend less time on social media

[Rizzlexo @rizzle_xo]

I think non gamers underestimate how many people use gaming as their way to decompress after work, stress, burnout or just life.

For a lot of adults:
gaming IS self care.

[BASED PSYCHIATRIST @BasedPsychMD]

Patients have been telling doctors about psychiatric withdrawal for 20 years.

Doctors started believing them last Tuesday.

and for the lady, perhaps a fucking break

[Amy Nichols @HallowynGhost]

My body learned somewhere along the way that people leaving and people dying feel dangerously similar.

[Mark Millich @Unstoppable218]

It takes some serious mental gymnastics to demonize iatrogenic patients for speaking out.

[Mikhaila Peterson @MikhailaFuller]

@amandawinnlee He’s not taking meds away, he’s changing tapering guidelines that are already in place from 2-4 weeks to hyperbolic tapering. And alerting physicians that protracted withdrawal is real.
