[Dr GS Matsebula @ugaG_M]

@iamkoshiek Truly concerning indeed.

[Dr GS Matsebula @ugaG_M]

In everything happening everywhere on this planet, remember that your mental health matters. Your brain matters. No mental health = no health.

[Dr GS Matsebula @ugaG_M]

Let’s take care of our collective and individual mental health on this Tuesday 4/11/2024, shall we? Our families, communities, states, and the globe all depend on this.

New treatment option for depression! Gepirone-ER, recently FDA-approved, offers relief from major depressive disorder without the sexual side effects commonly seen with SSRIs. Fewer sexual side effects = better quality of life and treatment success. #DepressionTreatment #MentalHealth #GepironeER

Defining self-harm is crucial, especially when distinguishing between non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal behavior. If someone hits themselves and feels pain but has no bruise, does it qualify as NSSI? More > https://t.co/pC3wdbqu1a

Thomas Szasz's argument: simple, popular, superficial, and wrong. But why?

Antipsychiatrist: "Psychiatry has claimed that mental disorders are 'dysfunctions' & it has used convoluted reasoning in an attempt to support this claim"

Response: Dysfunction is already found...

Increasing costs of living, while the populace don’t seem to be reaping the benefits of those rises, have a significantly adverse impact on South Africans’ mental health. Concerning indeed.

Ongoing marked economic stresses are a significant risk factor, amongst others, for the development of mental illness.

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

''We are tired, we have suffered enough!"

Nigerians took to the streets in different parts of the country, to protest against the massive spike in prices of food and everyday needs in the country.

Our reporters from @bbcafrica heard from the protesters in different cities.

[Dr GS Matsebula @ugaG_M]

Do join us.

Zuma was elected thanks to the relentless campaigning of Vavi’s Cosatu, Nzimande’s SACP and Mbalula’s ANCYL to remove Mbeki. At the time there was no indiciation — zero — that Zuma was committed to anything resembling decent governance. He was, however, committed to himself.

[Dr GS Matsebula @ugaG_M]

This is unconscionable. We cannot have a situation where doctors are unemployed. Access to healthcare - and by extension healthcare workers - is a CONSTITUTIONALLY mandated right.

[Daily Maverick @dailymaverick]

OPINIONISTA: I’m an unemployed doctor, like many medical peers, despite SA’s health skills shortage https://t.co/w1d9cLbFBm
