How would you like professionals to respond when you talk about harm from services?

[Lyndsay @AntifaMoomin]

@isiskovacs @PDdxInTheBin Imagine a publicly funded service where staff repeatedly with no sense of shame or morality call rape victims "vindictive and manipulative" and follow that with "and make fake accusations". And tell survivors of abuse they have "an exaggerated sense of being wronged" >

Heartbreaking and powerful new site capturing the life (and preventable death) of Sally Mays. Another family forced to fight their socks off for accountability. https://t.co/k3oOwtusTs

@RoseAnnieFlo @BipolarBlogger @RRowanOlive @salbod1985 I’ve found “you’re so brave and honest to say that here” to mean “I’m really frightened by how comfortable you are with seeing yourself both as unwell and needing help and a competent person with things to offer what’s that about?”

[Prof Linda Gask @suzypuss]

@MentalNOS @LucyToynbee @dawso007 @stephaniepitt8 @m4delen @KevinMacey4 @Derektracy1 @SameiHuda @nuwandiss @psychshite I once took over a caseload where several people had been diagnosed as ‘Personilty disorder’ and banned from in patient admission. I reviewed, discussed, rediagnosed and helped them. This was a long time ago, but I fear some things haven’t changed.

@Keirwales @ByYrSide @CSL_73 @PDdxInTheBin @SurvivorsNotPD I have 1, 3 and 8 - I am told I have “traits”. I argue, unsuccessfully, that this does not constitute a diagnosis.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

New article on STEPPS

“We made significant practice changes to the model however, arising from our own ideological positions in relation to BPD as a diagnosis”.

No ideological ‘owning your diagnosis’ is necessary for ANY ‘PD’ treatment #MentalHealthPRU https://t.co/YwK5gdFxMX

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

You know when you are horrified how vicious and undercutting professionals can be on social media, in the full glare of the public realm, with professional registration on the line? Imagine in private when the power is so asymmetrical and complaints be de-legitimised so easily.

Loved the pervume bottles as it is oftem mentioned ‘if we could just capture the essence that is peer support’. Got a lived experience event next week and using a battery -what is the power of lived experience?

[Pink Sky Thinking @PinkSkyThinking]

Paul McCrone discusses economics of #PersonalityDisorder services. Acknowledges funding is a political decision. Lots of ways to measure value & cost... @RITB_ he actually said getting back into work may not be a good outcome! Very interesting talk at @MentalHealthPRU workshop

[Recovery in the Bin @RITB_]

#MentalHealthPRU

SU's are dx as PD if they fail to recover, have long term needs or don't respond to meds.

[Recovery in the Bin @RITB_]

#MentalHealthPRU

Any staff in A&E can record on discharge summary PD without any thorough psychosocial assessment.
Staff routinely assume self-harm = PD

[Recovery in the Bin @RITB_]

According to the report, DLA claimants with a mental health condition are 2.4 times more likely than claimants with a physical health condition to be awarded nothing at all when they are assessed for PIP.

‘Moving beyond character assassination: testimonial injustice and borderline personality disorder’ video of my talk from today’s #mentalhealthpru starting at 5:50: https://t.co/7xWGEApScH Thank you to @Mental_Elf + @MentalHealthPRU #MentalHealthPRU

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

We have to work against the overt and covert use of ‘PD’ or ‘PD traits’ to give an excuse to neglect, abuse or gaslight patients that professionals find difficult especially with an expanding ICD-11 and an increasingly burnout workforce. #reprisaldx #mentalhealthpru MT @RITB_

[punkgirluk @punkgirluk]

@RITB_ @Keirwales That’s what happened to me. At 16. In 1994/5. Only symptom listed in DSM that applied. 20 ish years later EUPD still written in capitals (and red ink sometimes 😅) at the top of all my notes- not just mh notes...

[Recovery in the Bin @RITB_]

The discourse in MH is still in the stone age when it comes to independent living and any kind of social model, they keep trying to pretend support and removing barriers is creating ‘dependence’

[Emma @scousepie]

@Shrink_at_Large @PDdxInTheBin @bewareblackdog It doesn’t even work in a systemic sense because a mental disorder causing intense suicidal feelings is covered by the Mental Health Act which in practice trumps the Mental Capacity Act anyway....it’s a complete distortion of what ‘positive risk management’ should be

[PDintheBin @PDdxInTheBin]

@Nivedita_dey Will change it to open to all. Thanks for letting us know.

[PDintheBin @PDdxInTheBin]

Anyone following #MentalHealthPRU event about Personality 'Disorder' feel free to DM us if you know of ANY psychiatrist who doesnt believe in labelling people with this character slur and is willing to take referrals for second opinions. So far we have found none.

[PDintheBin @PDdxInTheBin]

If you are a psychiatrist who does not believe in labelling people with a personality disorder and you are willing to take referrals for second opinions please let us know so we can offer suggestions to service users who contact us.
Thank you.

[PDintheBin @PDdxInTheBin]

@DrEm_79 @LRKtweets Why do they think healthcare/treating you wouldnt have any benefit? Is a lot of this due to stigma around PD label?

[Dani Chadderton @DaniChadderton]

Absolutely buzzing that the poster won delegates' choice at #dcpconf and have to acknowledge the many people who've been involved in the group especially @BPDFFS without whom it never would have existed.
