[Prof James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

'Treatment resistant depression' is defined as not 'getting better' after trying two different drugs. It turns out that psychotherapy works with such distress, so it's not 'treatment resistant' after all. Perhaps just offer therapy sooner next time...

All the self-help and self-healing and self-care in the world cannot change this

The focus on self self self by social media Insta-therapists is the disease it purports to cure

[Alessandra Lemma @drlemma]
