Unaffiliated.

Focused on iatrogenic harm in health care, especially mental health care.
Ask your doctor about treatment risks, then verify.
Your story matters.

I met maybe a dozen docs over about 7 years in psych "care"
Not one in-depth discussion took place on risks of treatment. Tried to initiate one when I was prescribed the drug that ruined my health, doc was very dismissive. Still no help with persistent effects.

From the WHO

"Countries should adopt a higher standard for the free and informed consent to psychotropic drugs given their potential risks of harm in the short and long term (217, 218).

Countries, for example, can require written or documented informed consent (e.g. expressed by a recording in video or audio formats) after providing detailed information on potential negative and positive effects, and the availability of alternative treatment and non-medical options."

Most patient in US get a 60 second discuss of the risks of these medications.

I always felt that the risks were so significant a written form should be signed, confirming the patients truly acknowledging the risks of this class of medications.

@GrantS0227 I doubt justice will come. Psychiatry is too much of a cornerstone of social engineering and modern beliefs, too many myths would collapse. A majority cultural shift will have to come first. Individual perpetrators of these crimes against humanity will likely never be even named.

@GreetLecluse fight it if you have the strength, don't let them get away with it

The last few weeks I did a push of social media just sharing tips and stories about psych med withdrawal and now I’m getting 5-10 emails or dm’s every single day about people who have been harmed by meds, in withdrawal, seeking resources. This is a crisis. I’m so disgusted how…

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@ompsychiatrist ...to put it mildly.

@drannamedical It's a good idea if you're into human rights violations.

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@justin_garson There is a punitive aspect to it all. Sometimes it certainly feels like they're on a power trip.

[Dr Tim Kelly @DrTimothyKelly]

On population effect of anti-depressants:

If we're chemically blunting the emotional response of 15% of the population (8.7 million people) to genuinely miserable circumstances - poor housing, precarious work, social fragmentation, lack of meaning - we're essentially anaesthetising the rational discontent that might otherwise drive us to fix the root causes.

We've medicalised societal dysfunction. It's politically and economically convenient to prescribe pills rather than address why so many people find modern life intolerable. Individual clinicians aren't to blame, but we're participating in a system that treats the symptoms of a sick society rather than the sickness itself.

Before SSRIs:
Not a single health problem

After SSRIs:
Tinnitus
Neuropathy
Visual snow
Emotional blunting
Cognitive impairment
Prediabetes
Weight gain
Incontinence
Erectile dysfunction

All of this and more when i was only 20 years old.

Needless to say, SSRIs ruined my life.

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@SamaHoole Concerning the risks, I mean?

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@CPVAN333 @watchtowerowl1 For everyone who gets prescribed them, what percentage would you estimate have no other treatment options?

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@cooperdavis In the end, no one is specialized in your particular issues and responses. I wouldn't want to be put through a template of a treatment.

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@SBakerMD What you don't demand from your body, you certainly cannot do. You get slower, things get harder, but not doing them can make them impossible surprisingly fast.

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@BlackshepSusan Yeah, I hear you... It's obvious that the harm is far from contained.
If your friends are still with you, they understand.

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@gardentimeline This was before SSRI injury. I later resolved my suicidality kinda by accident, psychiatry was never helpful.
With the injuries... Still trying to rebuild a life after years of being badly disabled. Partial recovery gives hope & I'd keep living just out of spite. I die = they win

[Susan @BlackshepSusan]

I was on antidepressants for 15 years so ill I was put on disabilty. Not ONE professional of any kind said it was the drugs. Fast forward off the drugs. Recovered.
Everyone profits from making, selling, prescribing, dispensing, investing in antidepressants except you.

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@FitFounder Seeking so-called mental health care. I'll never get those years back, and the injuries may never fully heal.

@PGtzsche1 @SecKennedy @CDCgov @US_FDA @WHO @NIH Issues w/ fluoridation:
1. mass medication without consent or assessment of individual need
2. impossible to control dose received
3. no benefits from ingesting fluoride, it's a topical treatment for teeth
4. clean water access
5. possible environmental concerns

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

@functionalnurse Same. Getting "help" was the worst mistake of my life, and I've made plenty.
