#ADHD IS NOT OVER-DIAGNOSED.
Analysis of 9 million patient GP records showed ADHD diagnosis for just 0.32% of patient records. NHS prescription data backs that up. ADHD is under diagnosed not overdiagnosised.

1/ SEN is a legally defined term. So we’re concerned about Tom Rees’ comments on ‘the SEND label’ which suggests a fundamental misunderstanding of SEN and the legal framework. Here are our thoughts🧵
https://t.co/Q9jffH2ymk
Before everyone starts suggesting that maybe Kyle Clifford was ‘suffering from mental health issues’ which ‘caused him’ to tie up and shoot three women, let me shoot some facts here:
1. There is not a single mental disorder listed or described in the DSM which states that it causes murder
2. Not a single mental health charity would put their name to a public statement which stated that MH was associated with committing murder - in fact they would probably do the opposite
3. Men kill women because they want to
4. Men kill women because they get something out of it
5. Men kill women because of their misogyny and male entitlement
6. Men kill women because they enjoy it
7. Men kill women because we do absolutely nothing about the toxic, abusive, misogynistic, pro-violence and pro-abuse society we raise them in
8. Men kill women because there are virtually zero consequences and less than 2% conviction rate for domestic and sexual violence crimes
People only claim men who murder are mentally ill for TWO reasons:
1. To defend the suspect legally, in order to claim insanity, so charges or sentences can be lessened
2. To psychologically distance ourselves from their actions, so no one has to accept that this is a social and systemic problem of violence and abuse - and we can all go on pretending that it was another ‘one-off’ caused by ‘mental illness’
End.

I’ve reported on a lot of terrible Tory ‘welfare reforms’ over the years but withholding sick people’s medicines to force them to get a job is genuinely a new low.
@RSPCA_official hello, I can't get through to any centres and the "emergency helpline" they all direct me to isn't operational between 5pm and 8am. I have an injured in my garden and I don't know how to help it. Please help.
This is what grief is.
A hole ripped through the very fabric of your being.
The hole eventually heals along the jagged edges that remain.
It may even shrink in size.
But that hole will always be there.
A piece of you always missing.
For where there is deep grief, there was great love.
Don’t be ashamed of your grief.
Don’t judge it.
Don’t suppress it.
Don’t rush it.
Rather, acknowledge it.
Lean into it.
Listen to it.
Feel it.
Sit with it.
Sit with the pain. And remember the love.
This is where the healing will begin.

Any teachers of a level physics (AQA) who are willing to share resources, particularly for the particle and radiation topic could you please get in touch? First time doing this so would appreciate a look at how people structure content etc.
It's hard to believe that one year ago today we lost our beloved friend George Ward.
Today we want to celebrate their love, laughter, artistry and mental health advocacy. Please spread the George & Cherry love 🍒
