@pulsetoday Not an easy read for those ADHD folk who rely in these meds. Equally I can't ignore how pharmacies and also medical culture promote meds as the only way forward. I have heard of countless examples when that was all that was offered.

People need informed options for full choice

[PulseToday @pulsetoday]

An LMC has advised GP practices that they can decline to enter shared care agreements with private ADHD prescribers, citing lack of capacity or clinical grounds.

@JaneLambertECG That's heart breaking. Can I help, even to listen? I have my own adopted little boy and whilst it's OK now it was quite the ride! Hugs

Discrimination is illegal, but that doesn't stop it happening, but taking legal action can be daunting and confusing

We teamed up with @Valla_UK to create this comprehensive guide on "what to do when you are experiencing discrimination at work" 💪

They realized waiting times in some places can be over 3 months, and so they could do a RCT over a short follow up time and still get approved for the study- they could do this ethically.

And what they found was stunning.

55% reduction in suicidality, and similar, depression.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care.

The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control.

I detail the results in my latest article.
