Nerves have kicked in, here at the @rcpsychGAP conference and all ready to talk about making menstruation and menopause matter in mental health (views are my own, not representing my employer or any other organizations) #pmdd #mentalhealth #lxp #menopause

[Royal College of Psychiatrists @rcpsych]

Today we are publishing our first ever position statement on menopause and mental health. A lack of understanding means too many women are missing out on vital support when they need it most. #MenopauseAndMentalHealth

When these are the stats it's hard not to consider and raise awareness of PMDD within psychiatry #pmdd #mentalhealth #womenshealth

A reminder EUPD is NOT the new name for BPD.

It is the old name for BPD.

EUPD no longer exists in ICD-11, the latest revision of the diagnostic bible we use in the U.K. and half the world.

BPD is no longer a diagnoses either but is a TRAIT QUALIFIER that gets added to PD 1/2

Fabulous day at the @BPSOfficial Peer support in Eating Disorders conference today. Great to be in person & to hear all the work going on across the UK. Also wonderful hear about @jessthegriff work on peer support and resources that will soon be available on the FREED website.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

The hardest work l've ever done wasn't paid.

It was staying alive when I was at my lowest.

It was caring for someone I loved.

It was surviving when survival felt impossible.

Work takes many forms.

#menopausetwitter does anyone know if the adhesive on 100mg Estradot has changed in the last few months? Always got on with these really well but now they won't stay stuck 🫠
