When you raise kids to believe every emotion must be "diagnosed" & "treated" with a pill (see: ADHD, anxiety, etc etc) you train them to seek illegal pills. No surprise pill abuse has killed at least 107,622 in 2021 alone. Stop medicalizing emotions. https://t.co/lWCF8Dk4uS

Ahh.. no wonder tRump "loved" his fellow dictator in N Korea. Probably forgave the loan to hold it over tRump's head. Sociopaths are so predictable, greedy, scamming, lying, violating ethics and laws.

@narceducator RSV is really bad in Michigan right now.

@Theholisticpsyc Prevention at the root = Mandatory parenting education to teach attachment skills, decrease shame-based parenting (authoritarian/narcopathic/permissive/abusive). Kids need love, not shame. Stop pulling people out of the stream -- go upstream and stop them falling in!!

It's destroying our societal mental health, as leading mental health experts have accurately warned for 7yrs, due to psychologically dangerous leaders, media etc! They remain banned from MSM interviews!!

@Fitness4DtyExam @duty2warn Once they started wanting to "drown government in a bathtub" (Gingrich? Reagan?) it was clear they did not want democracy.

The definition of grandiosity is thinking you can outwit millions of years of evolution. https://t.co/7vqvsi90LQ

@DrMcFillin A friend who has been on antidepressants for years has this issue to the point her scans show essentially no function in hippocampus and one other area of her brain. Devastating loss of cognitive function.

[Palmer Report @PalmerReport]

The new Twitter owner is the latest proof that anyone who embraces right wing conspiracy theories is mentally incompetent. Relationships broken, social interactions unhinged, financial decisions incoherent. Right wing extremism isn’t just evil, it’s a debilitating mental illness.

Our book called Trump dangerous. More evidence (as if we need it): 319,000 people unnecessarily died of COVID because they refused to get vaccinated based on extremist conspiracy theories. [Population of Cincinnati is 309,000.] https://t.co/vtmDMNpsi7

@SHDetroit @TheRaDR @wdet As a psychotherapist & expert in shame, poor shame tolerance affects nearly everyone I see. It harms relationships due to lack of ability to apologize and causes narcissistic behavior. Shame intolerance is modeled by parents and transmitted intergenerationally. #DetroitToday

When running for president is merely a last-ditch legal strategy and scam opportunity -- unbound from common cause or moral purpose (or even a chance of success) -- one with an ounce of conscience might reconsider his choices.

DeSatan winning in Florida = YaWn. Our Great Gretchen Whitmer winning big and coattailing so many Dems we flipped the legislature is HUGE!! She's the real deal. https://t.co/J4QwokmrMj

Trump's perfect narcopath comment on NewsNation: “Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit. If they lose, I should not be blamed at all.”

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

Damn it feels good to be a Michigander.

[Duty To Warn 🔉 @duty2warn]

Note to Merrick Garland and his team:
It's no longer "60 days before the election."

[Harper West @HarperWestPLP]

Huge wins for Democrats in Michigan. They're poised to retake state Legislature first time since 1984. Dems (women!) hold top 3 offices. Abortion rights constitutional change passes big, as well as "promote the vote" proposal.

MH language is so important because framing experiences in terms of 'illnesses' with 'symptoms' leads one to assume, 1. there is an underlaying biological entity, which 2. needs a medical (e.g. pharmacological) solution. The frame is arbitrary and neither assumption is correct.
