When someone dies by suicide, people ask:
Why didn’t they talk to someone?
What were they thinking?
How could they do that?
But when someone tries to open up, the world often says:
You’re overreacting.
You’ll be fine.
You’re too sensitive.
That’s life get on with it.
Silencing people in pain and then judging their silence is one of the cruellest things we do as a society.
Shifting Acute Mental Health Care to the Home Limits the Cycle of Rehospitalization, Study Finds
By Richard Sears
New research shows intensive home treatment provides lasting benefits over inpatient wards but requires stable housing & systemic support.

“Childhood experiences impact long-term physical and behavioral health outcomes including conveying risk for schizophrenia and psychosis. Negative experiences, such as child abuse and neglect, have been specifically associated with risk for schizophrenia and psychosis.”
This was already known in the 50s-80s. But antipsychotic pills came on the market and bio-psychiatry decided to go with the brain disease theory. It was a decision, not science.
This time around, I hope MH organizations embrace the true causes of schizophrenia/psychosis, so people can get the help they desperately need. Fingers crossed!

🤯 Listen to this extraordinary exchange between Camilla Tominey and Labour’s Health Secretary James Murray. It is genuinely jaw-dropping.
Camilla: “You’re quite pro-trans, aren’t you? Do you think a woman can have a penis? Because you did previously?”
Murray: “No, I don’t.”
Camilla: “So you’ve changed your mind?”
Murray: “Yes.”
Camilla: “Why?”
Murray stumbles. He says he’s been thinking about the issue over recent years and would not now say trans women are women.
Camilla hits back: “You must have known that before. You are very well educated. How on earth can you have previously thought that a woman can have a penis?”
He had no real answer. Because there isn’t one.
This is not some backbench MP. This is the Secretary of State for Health, the man responsible for the entire NHS, puberty blocker policy, women’s health services, and child safeguarding.
He spent years either believing or pretending to believe that biological sex is fluid and that women can have penises. Only now, when the Cass Review, court rulings, and public opinion have made that position politically toxic, has he magically “changed his mind”.
Think about the damage done while he held that view. The eroded women’s rights. The confused children fast-tracked toward hormones and surgery. The female prisoners and athletes forced to share spaces with biological males. All enabled or ignored by senior Labour figures like him.
This level of ideological delusion at the very top of government is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. Basic biology should never have been up for debate, let alone something a Health Secretary had to “evolve” on.
Dr. Peter Glidden: "A 12 year worldwide meta-analysis study revealed Chemotherapy has a 97% failure rate. So why is it still used? It's one reason & one reason only, money.”
“This is insane!” — A new vaccine is on the market called VAXELIS lt has 6 VACCINES in ONE SHOT for 6-WEEK-OLD BABIES...6 Infants Died In Trials.
How can this be allowed to happen ?

Me and @SliderFighter discuss all the operational and environmental stress that inevitably ends up in an adaptation known as PTS(D). What is trained, helps us survive and is wanted is then pathological and medicated. @DeptVetAffairs#veterans#military
Today is Research Appreciation Day, and this year's theme is co-production.
We believe mental health research works best when the people it aims to help are equal partners in shaping it. Not occasionally consulted. Genuinely involved, from the start.

She’s not wrong. It’s terrifying knowing many years down the road that there will be an avalanche of people suffering from severe antidepressant withdrawal…
If you are dealing with chronic emptiness today, please remember your brain is likely just trying to protect you from overwhelming overwhelm. It’s not a permanent defect; it’s a temporary shield.
NHS SPENT 11 MILLION POUNDS TRYING TO PROVE ONE CARDIOLOGIST WAS WRONG
Dr Raj Mattu flagged 5 patients crammed into 4 bed cardiac bays at Walsgrave Hospital in 2001. A 35 year old died because staff could not reach him in time.
He told @BBC. The trust suspended him, reportedly hired private investigators, and sent over 200 complaints about him to @gmcuk. All 200 were rejected.
At the 2016 remedy hearing the trust's barrister called him greedy for wanting the compensation he was already owed, then suggested he retrain as a school teacher on 30,000 pounds a year.
He won. Around 1.22 million pounds, up to 2.5 million once tax was added. The legal fight cost the trust over 11 million in public money.
Patients died. He spoke up. The system spent a decade trying to prove him wrong instead of fixing the ward.

New interview up with @SliderFighter. We talk about vets & anxiety meds. They are capable of turning an otherwise healthy & extensively-screened warfighter into something that looks a lot like mental illness, but is iatrogenically-caused by the very medication given to help us.
