Yesterday I spent the evening listening to a fascinating talk on the psychology of the psychopath delivered by @forensicpsychUK @SeedTalk. Now I understand more about the traits of primary psychopaths, it makes sense why we’re having a general election on July 4th.

Borderline personality disorder is not an 'illness of character'.

It is an umbrella term that enables contempt, abuse and neglect both in and outside of psychiatric services.

It covers up complex trauma, neurodivergence, discrimination, bipolar and PMDD, sometimes fatally.

My letter published in The Guardian today👇: “By misrepresenting socially caused distress as a medical issue, we run the risk of wrongly individualising, pathologising & depoliticising that distress, & so exonerating social conditions from responsibility.”https://t.co/4NcSUaMuB3
