1) The HSE give business owners the responsibility of ensuring that their workforce are not stressed, whilst giving business owners and the stressed workforce no power to change poor social and economic conditions impacting them. Our govt spend 12bn a year on mh

Weirdest paper: "the findings confirmed that social media platforms are a mechanism by which ppl, share information about adverse drug effects..... It's plausible this could impact the belief & behaviours of people with lived experience of depression who may see these tweets".🤷

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

The word depression has turned into an umbrella term representing anything upsetting, distressing, sad, feeling unmotivated or fatigued … regardless of cause. It’s completely lost it’s meaning.
Exactly how Pharma wanted it.

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

Sorry if this offends you. You probably aren't "ADHD". In all likelihood your brain works exactly as its supposed to & you are attending to stimuli that is most relevant or interesting. Modern living is the problem not your brain.

What most people think but do not say

You think, so that your stupid thoughts can die, instead of you! - Dr Jordan Peterson.

Thought is one of our most precious gifts, yet many misuse it and then are confused when they feel suffering. Let your thoughts wander without giving them any meaning, for they have none.

[Prof James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

If therapy doesn’t enable the translation of new insight & relational experience into healthier ways of being & acting, the job has not been done.

[Thrive & Shine @ShineThrive]

Depression - means to press down or be pressed down upon.

The clue is in the meaning.

In order for something not to be pressed upon, the very thing pressing upon it has to be removed.

I don’t know any medication capable of doing that.

How do I teach my body that my fight or flight response is suppose to be for life or death situations, not answering an email.

[Thrive & Shine @ShineThrive]

@DrMcFillin Agreed. In fact, the only areas of the world that I don’t see that very economic model are the areas where our indigenous populations are - and so we see the world leaders pretending to help them by promising medical supplies and food laced with chemicals.

‘A new study in JAMA Network Open found that antidepressants don’t prevent suicide…. & that antidepressants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepine drugs were all associated with increased suicide attempts in people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). https://t.co/YCRdKFDz3I

[Prof James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

The depoliticising, individualising, pathologising approach to emotional distress survives because it coheres with the dominant politico-economic ideology of our time. Not because is it good for people.

In order to improve and sustain wellbeing, we have to put in the work. There’s no bypassing it

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

The only evidence based antidepressants that exist:
Exercise, love, sex, life purpose, social engagement, sun exposure, nutrition, safety, acceptance, forgiveness, spiritual connection, nature, creativity, learning, meditation..
What else?

There is no drug that is antidepressant

[Dr Joanna Moncrieff @joannamoncrieff]

Interesting study showing how research can produce positive findings even when there is no effect to be found. Incidentally, effect size and odds ratio of homeopathy vs placebo was slightly larger than that found for antidepressants https://t.co/ozrOiGnBRq

Question for self reflection:

What would happen if we allow each wave of emotion to complete its cycle? ❤️

Alcohol decreases social anxiety symptoms. We would not prescribe alcohol for anxiety. However, this logic has been applied to suggest psychiatric drugs are evidence-based.
Short term drug trials using symptom measures have misrepresented efficacy of psych drugs to the public.

A useful graphic from a large clinical imaging study https://t.co/ET1cwF6Qcu showing how neurobiological measures do not (or barely) differentiate between people with depression and people without, but social factors do, substantially

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

Highly sensitive people, those who experience their emotions intensely, have super powers. They are attuned to the energy around them. They have to learn how to harness this super power.

Modern medicine will give you a bullshit label & attempt to drug you. They are dangerous
