@beatED recently published a report titled “There’s no place like home” which shows the importance of having access to intensive community and day treatments in eating disorders. This post aims to bring awareness to the report and highlight the results💜 https://t.co/OTFsqfzlh3

There's been some stigmatising coverage of autism and mental health in the news this week. To clarify, autism and mental health problems are different things.

Here's how they can be connected, and where to get support for autism 🧵 1/8

Problem of unintended consequences: slushies need sugar for their consistency - reformulation following the sugar tax resulted in replacement with glycerol which is fine for older people, but not children.

[Ed Beveridge @dredbeveridge]

59% of people with Severe Mental Illness in England had a full physical health check in the last year - so 41% still haven't.

Things are improving but health checks for all are only the foundation.

It's OK researching new treatments for those with physical health needs and SMI, but we need to be getting the foundations right so that the reviews and support are there in the first place.

[Ed Beveridge @dredbeveridge]

People taking long term antipsychotics need access to regular medication review to miminise physical health risks.

We need to work together to make sure this is available for everyone who needs it.

Another day.
Another stigmatising headline we’ve had to correct.
2 million people are on mental health waiting lists. Let's focus on getting them the support they deserve instead of writing stigmatising articles.

[Stephanie Sloan @Steph_RD_]

• 1 million people waiting for mental health services
• Children & young people MH referrals have tripled in less than 10 years & over 109,000 wait over a year for care.
• Healthy life expectancy is falling, increasing the demand for healthcare (1/2)

[Dr Chuks @theeatdisdoc]

We need to be more generous with our words to the people we meet. Less talk/compliments about weight, but more about the person as a human being.
