@TodayFMNews There is a lot of virtue signalling around everything to do with mental health... Yet in the year 2021/ 2022 there has been no 'conversation' around the 167 recommendations that have been made by an expert mental health advisory report made to government in 2016.

@coffeecronin Im going to rest up for the next 8 hrs,

[Derry Mescal @derrymescal]

@annedohertypsy Half the mental health budget on a yearly basis is spent on psychothropic drugs....

[Derry Mescal @derrymescal]

@annedohertypsy What anne doherty is failing to tell you is that psychiatric wards are basically prisons where people undergo forced paychiatric treatments... A biomedical model gone off the radar

[Derry Mescal @derrymescal]

@coffeecronin So there's a pill for the existential mess we find ourselves in
Great

[Derry Mescal @derrymescal]

@coffeecronin I appreciate that, i do think there is a conversation to be had that encompasses the varying experience people have, i am not into pill shaming however i do feel that many voices are suppressed and ignored by a purely biomedical model of human distress

@IrishPsychiatry @kelleher_eric @NewstalkFM Any update on my question Anne Doherty

[Derry Mescal @derrymescal]

@daraobriain That would be the logical thing.... But logic doesn't seem to win out here

[Derry Mescal @derrymescal]

@IrishPsychiatry @kelleher_eric @NewstalkFM Would these co morbidity issues have anything to do with the psychotropic meds prescribed by psychiatrists

[Derry Mescal @derrymescal]

Poor guy
