[Dr Alys Cole-King @AlysColeKing]

Compassionate, collaborative care for self-harm/suicidal thoughts saves lives

A Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis can be applied too readily and cause harm

My view - can act as a barrier to accessing best care due to stigma and prejudice

What do you think? Pls vote 🙏🏼

Rose Cartwright was told 'the root cause of mental illnesses are biological abnormalities in the brain' but realised this was not true and not helpful https://t.co/AClh4PQxcA

Great study. 27 years after our first review showing child abuse is a cause of psychosis. How many more studies like this before psychiatry actually starts asking and listening?

The metaphor of the medical model hides the problems we face in life & focuses away from the things we need to deal with. #medicalisation #emotionaldistress #AD4E https://t.co/yjT69AjHlW

Childhood trauma isn't just about what happened; it's also about what didn't happen.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

One in 9 girls and 1 in 20 boys under the age of 18 are sexually abused.

Where is the similar outrage at the absent or overmedicalisation of care?

Where the concerns about safety?

[Prof James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

Assuming a diagnostic identity won't save you from structural harm, erase your trauma or heal relational deprivation. It won't lead to political uprising or systemic reform, but will just further entrench the widespread depoliticisation/commodification of socially-rooted distress

[Prof James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

Instead of using social policy to tackle the systematic drivers of the nation's ever worsening mental health, our politicians call for 'more anti-stigma campaigns, mental-health-aid at work & better access to GPs', as if this is the real solution. You see the problem here, right?
