@psychgeist52 @PsychToday @awaisaftab What a persuasive and lucidly argued piece. Thank you, James!

[Thorsten Padberg @PadbergThorsten]

"Once Aftab's premises are accepted, critics no longer need to explain why they reject psychiatric concepts; rather, psychiatry must explain why it should continue to exercise medical authority in the absence of the foundations that once justified that authority."

[James Barnes MSc., MA @psychgeist52]

In my latest @PsychToday post, I examine @AwaisAftab's attempt to rescue psychiatry on pragmatic grounds after conceding longstanding critiques of its foundations.

I argue the defence fails—and it leads not to reforming the psychiatric paradigm, but to moving beyond it.

I can understand this is a difficult time for my psychiatry colleagues. I am sure they all have good intentions, but it turns out that the most widely used psychiatric treatment, antidepressants, causes significant iatrogenic effects (e.g. severe withdrawal reactions, PSSD), is not very effective (at best) and does not target an underlying biological abnormality after all. Although many people still seek a psychiatric diagnosis and a medical approach, increasing numbers highlight how misleading and disabling this approach can be. Their voices are starting to be heard, and we need to work with them to provide help for people who have been harmed by psychiatric treatment, and to prevent more harm being done. Trying to shoot the messenger doesn’t help anyone.

@therapiepotsdam Ja, genau. Auch dazu gibt es sicherlich was Neurowissenschaftliches.

[Thorsten Padberg @PadbergThorsten]

Erstaunlich oft sagen die Neurowissenschaften das, was die Neurowissenschaftlerin sich so denkt

Konzentrationsübung: Zähle die Sekunden bis auf jede x-beliebige Frage (Warum verlieben wir uns?; Was sind psychische Probleme?, Warum gefällt Musik?) jemand "Gehirn" sagt und einer aus einer Auswahl von ca. drei Neurotransmittern genannt wird.

It's not enough to talk about mental health. You have to do it right. Words matter.

🚨Just published in the British Journal of Psychiatry!🚨

Evolutionary explanations of anxiety rated as 5x more useful for patients and 3x more useful for clinicians than genetic explanations of anxiety!

Our paper is the largest RCT of evolutionary explanations to date!

DSM-6 Will Be Structured Around Biomarkers—Despite Acknowledgment There Aren’t Any
by Peter Simons

The committee aims to use biomarkers to reorganize the whole project. The problem? They acknowledge that such biomarkers have not yet actually been found.

[Dr James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

Throughout history, critics of systems of power & oppression have been portrayed by elites as 'haters,' 'deviants', 'malicious' etc, while power (in this case, psychiatry) casts itself as benevolent - as an expression of love. This quote embodies such punative splitting perfectly

[Medicating Normal @MedicatingNorm1]

"...in the long-term, the MTA study actually showed that stimulant drugs led to 'deterioration rather than a further benefit.'"

[James Barnes MSc., MA @psychgeist52]

Ironically, by defining legitimate need for care only in terms of medical illness, psychiatry creates the very binary through which distress & disability is denied.

If it is the only category allowed, then the fact of overdiagnosis becomes the basis for dismissing ...(1/3)

[James Barnes MSc., MA @psychgeist52]

But there is a third option, which is what critics have been saying all along, despite being misrepresented.

It rejects the binary that creates the denial, recognising overdiagnosis without denying the very real suffering and disability behind it 👇 (3/3)

[Thorsten Padberg @PadbergThorsten]

@AgnesTheTroll @m_aadil This in no way is meant to dismiss suffering. This suffering can be subsumed under the descriptive construct of depression. For some it's helpful to think about it this way.

[Thorsten Padberg @PadbergThorsten]

@estherbeeee Ja genau, ich würde auch nichts davon für sich schon als "psychosozial" bezeichnen.

[Thorsten Padberg @PadbergThorsten]

Anders als überall behauptet, ist Psychologie nicht in Mode. In Mode sind Bio-Modelle psychischer Schwierigkeiten. Gleichzeitig läuft ein Kampf gegen eine psychosoziale Sicht.
