Every time I talk about the risks of antidepressants, I'm told I'm putting lives at risk and that I'm scaring people away from treatment.

But the real data tells a different story 🧵

[Emma Hames @emjadehames]

I will always love France. But it’s also the country where I was giving the anti-anxiety medication that would de-rail my life for 8+ years. Glad there’s finally some recognition of the dangers. It’s a start..

[Benzodiazepine Information Coalition @BZInfoCoalition]

France is now raising the alarm about the risks of benzo prescription. A new campaign from the national medicines safety agency warns both the public and healthcare professionals about the dangers linked to these commonly prescribed medications.

1. 🚨 We don’t have a ‘mental health crisis’—we have a crisis of the way we live.

What’s labeled as an epidemic is often a natural response to an unnatural world:

4. And of course, this feeds into overprescribing & medicating those who are reacting in very human ways to a deeply dysfunctional system.

True wellbeing isn’t found in numbing symptoms—it’s found in changing the systems that create them.

Psychiatry gets away with reckless and dangerous practices because most people can’t fathom it operating so cluelessly without oversight.

Calling the Benzo Community: Your Story Matters 
If you / someone you know has been harmed by a prescribed benzodiazepine (like Xanax, Valium, etc.), plz share this post with them.
We’re creating a proof-of-concept film for TOXSICK to submit to the festival circuit this year.

[Emma Hames @emjadehames]

These images will form a crucial part of the film, shining a light on the human toll of this issue and driving the movement for safer global healthcare.

[Emma Hames @emjadehames]

One of the all time greats.

@Trezor Would like to integrate blockchain capabilities into pre-prod / prod & distribution pathways (as well as community voting mechanisms) so would put a % towards this.

[Emma Hames @emjadehames]

@Trezor fund my documentary - https://t.co/vZLQfdqlFy

[Emma Hames @emjadehames]

To any benzo / iatrogenic harm advocates out there - please feel free to share with any businesses or companies that also might want to onboard & partner.
