Don't be taken in by Trump and RFK jnr's apparent critique of psychiatry. Right wing will always use legitimate questions for nefarious ends https://t.co/SFSWBeUVVY

@RestIsPolitics I love your show Alistair and Rory, particularly that you periodically keep #MentalHealth on the agenda. But can you please stop lumping autism and ADHD in with mental illnesses? They’re developmental conditions.

We welcome the government's aspirations to improve the NHS outlined in @wesstreeting's conference speech.

I literally despair at articles like these. The poverty & predictability of thought, the retrograde assertion that severe suffering is a medical disease (which ketamine can 'rewire'...), is precisely why we need critical voices. Wake up @washingtonpost https://t.co/7iwyXWGVAE

Suggestion 2: write TO people, not about them

[Sam Spedding @SamSpedding]

Medics, can you please stop writing letters to people saying “[name] presented as [judgment 1, eg. slim/ overweight] and [judgment 2, eg. pleasant/ middle-aged]”? It’s meaningless and alienating.

[Sam Spedding @SamSpedding]

Suggestion 1: use facts, not judgments.
