Terminally online. Edgy takes, but managing to stay within GMC social media guidelines.

@Dr_Ellie Antisemitism is when you criticise Israel

@sandycann2 @jill_d35 @ReadReadj Most patients tolerate ECT well and risks are clearly explained

[. @dr_dr_uk]

@jill_d35 @ReadReadj Patients are warned and risks are fully explained. Severe depression also severely impairs cognitive function, and if not adequately treated, then is a strong risk factor for dementia

@JDaviesPhD You only say this because the analysts also see past the grift that you're selling.

@ReadReadj Genuinely embarrassing how you think an online survey counts as research.

@socio_plath Are psychiatrists any ruder than other specialities?

@AaronBastani @MorlandDemog A little bit TMI but ok

@FranArtHistory @AnnaFazack1 For the baby? I'm not sure what the evidence there is for birth adoptions being traumatic for the baby, not saying there isn't any, just that I don't know. Regardless, its clearly less traumatic for baby being adopted at birth than later on, after accumulated traumas etc

[. @dr_dr_uk]

@FranArtHistory @AnnaFazack1 Ultimately though, focus should be on what's best for the child

[. @dr_dr_uk]

@FranArtHistory @AnnaFazack1 But yes, its a very complex topic, and there probably are occasions services get it wrong in either direction- letting mother keep the child when unsuitable, and adopting child when mum could've coped with support

[. @dr_dr_uk]

@AnnaFazack1 Your article is a biased attempt to feed on emotions and create a moral outrage, rather than an honest examination of the truth.

[. @dr_dr_uk]

@AnnaFazack1 Women don't have their babies taken away for no reason. The damage that poor parenting can cause is awful, and if anything, I'm continuously shocked by how little the state intervenes in situations of parents who are clearly doing a terrible job

@suzypuss We wonder why men and boys are going astray, when mainstream discourse openly fantasises about erasing them from existence

[. @dr_dr_uk]

@suzypuss I wonder if this would be acceptable to say about any other group? "There is no reason for the existence of black/chinese/gay people" would be seen correctly as bigoted in the extreme.

@ReadReadj How do psychologists treat catatonia?

[. @dr_dr_uk]

@ReadReadj Why do you think all these psychiatrists say that ECT is effective?

@HartleySamantha What do you mean?
