Please tell all journalists u know: Stop saying "People who are unable to see their need for treatment." It's biased, prejudicial & dehumanizing. Instead: "People who, for a variety of reasons, refuse treatments that are often unhelpful and can be very harmful."

An exhaustive new study by @robwipond finds that forced treatment does not improve mental health.

What the world needs more than sympathy and empathy is compassion.
Sympathy: I'm sorry you're in pain
Empathy: I feel your pain
Compassion: I'll do whatever I can to alleviate your pain
You don't have to feel other people's feelings. You just have to care about their feelings.
