New, free, shareable resource on experiences clinicians like to call "psychosis" but you don't have to, and put together by people who've been there and wanted to share some of what they've learned. #MyMentalHealthInFiveWords https://t.co/hTMyrH79hk

[Prof James Davies 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

Every time I leverage the 'poor mental health' trope to sign off work (when its actually the working environment causing my suffering), I subtly exonerate that environment from causal responsibility. It's now me who is 'sick' & needing treatment not my environment needing reform.

Brave to hear how one professor of psychiatry’s experience of being treated for psychotic symptoms in a biomedical versus humanistic way herself has led to her re-evaluating her treatment of patients. https://t.co/CJrQJttsIN

Eighty percent of the population will get treated for mental illness in their lifetime - and they’re worse off afterward - Mad in the UK https://t.co/kW0Ad9yVSt

High antidepressant use 'clear example of over-medicalisation, where patients are often prescribed unnecessary and potentially harmful drugs instead of tackling the root causes of their suffering, such as loneliness, poverty or poor housing.' #beyondpills https://t.co/ADsHtzEYGy

[Dr Joanna Moncrieff @joannamoncrieff]

Call to reduce antidepressant prescribing. 20% of people in England are prescribed them, and 50% take them long-term, resulting in huge exposure to unnecessary harm #beyondpills https://t.co/9Ized9Z8In

I find it disturbing-and so telling-to witness how quickly many people slip back & forth between "we want to compassionately help homeless people thru forced treatment" to "they're dangerous riffraff ruining our cities and must be locked up". It's called Orwellian doublethink.

@asantetalks And they call it 'intelligence'.

[Rob Wipond @robwipond]

By not demanding greater public transparency, data collection, and outcome tracking of involuntary treatment, psychiatrists prove themselves to be unworthy trustees of the extraordinary powers they've been given under mental health laws. https://t.co/n91yq7E6i4
