Working title is:
So you'll go no more a-stigmatising

The weather isn't bipolar
Nor are all Geminis
Neither is that politician
That one who you despise

I hardly use this account these days, but many of you do know me, so....

My wife was treated for breast cancer last year.

We've just found out that it has metastasised & is now in her spine (Stage 4).

It's not the worst it could be, but it's pretty bad.

[Dr. Jonathan N. Stea @jonathanstea]

In my keynote address, I actually spoke about how the anti-psychiatry movement uses pseudoscience to deny the existence of mental illness, stigmatize patients, deter treatment seeking, and compromise patient care.

It was extremely well received among the audience of 400+.

And over lunch with the president of the Canadian Psychological Association, we even discussed how the tiny minority of psychologists who do promote anti-psychiatry propaganda embarrass our profession.

@hannah_shiro You're 36!?

Oh man, I'm so old.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@hannah_shiro @evelynhuntphoto 25 May? Yeah, it's gonna be... ❄️❄️ 😂

@MECFSNanoneedle @justin_garson @PsychToday I'm still waiting for a Migraine & Epilepsy blood test, too.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@justin_garson Only, who tells their patients that their brains are 'broken'?

It's hardly evidence against the medical model when it's measuring against something that doesn't actually happen. 🤷‍♂️

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@eyebaws1 Sure. You go find something, anything, that supports your claim.*

* you won't bother to look, and if you did, you don't find anything

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@eyebaws1 I'm not the one maintaining an irrational view that flies in the face of any & all available evidence.

I am insane. Yes. I don't see that as an insult like you do, though.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@eyebaws1 It's Grok.

Google says much the same thing, I'm sure ChatGPT also.

Forced meds is a question of ethics, it says nothing about the effectiveness of the med itself.

Common sense, specifically, does not support your view.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@eyebaws1 It's Grok. Feel free to post something that supports your view.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@goslee_aaron I'll be keeping my eye on you

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@goslee_aaron I guess mental illness runs in the family. Don't worry, that's nothing to be ashamed about.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@goslee_aaron Sounds like she's played a part in turning you into an arsehole.

Tell her I said hi, though.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@goslee_aaron @throwawaytras @StigmaB47868 @connection6556 @NickTaber @NickTaber

You talk about harms. You need to call this shit that goes on in your comments out. Direct, deliberate harm.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@goslee_aaron What, calling out cunts?

You're a fucking piece of shit. You deserve to know that. Consider it an opportunity for personal growth.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@goslee_aaron Fuck your Grandmother.

It's pretty easy not to be a cunt.

I'd tell you to take care, but honestly, don't. Do the world a favour. Smoke 5 packs a day!

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@goslee_aaron @throwawaytras @StigmaB47868 @connection6556 @NickTaber It's true. I really am.

That's no great claim, though.

[Mal C @Mal47C]

@goslee_aaron @throwawaytras @StigmaB47868 @connection6556 @NickTaber At least that explains why you are the way you are.

Good luck kicking your addiction to harmful drugs.
