@DrJaiShah @ElectionsCan_E There were no such indications at my booth either- definitely problematic & may disadvantage first-time voters.

Do patients fail to respond to treatment?
OR
Do treatments fail patients?

Language is important in mental health! Is it time to bin terms like treatment-resistant?

Great comment in @TheLancetPsych from @DrCHM @SimonMHR @andygumley and a response from @ReneKhan
