@giftedbooks This is a great opportunity! Our printer since 1982 is closing, so we need to move the books that we stored with them. Please spread the word!

Psychological name calling is the most impotent form of #Resistance to Trump.
The only potent weapon is getting out the vote.

I wrote 2 pretty good books 'Saving Normal' & 'Essentials of Psychiatric Diagnosis' to elaborate the causes/harmful consequences/cures of over-diagnosis & over-treatment. https://t.co/u2WdPUqVFm

Universal mental health screening of children sounds virtuous but is a big mistake.
Massive over-diagnosis results in:
1)Too much ineffective/unsafe #Medication
2)Needless #stigma
3)Wasting precious resources
Instead, provide easy access to treatment for kids who really need it. https://t.co/IXj8TSp2kh
