Female caregivers are 2.5 times more likely to live in poverty than non-caregivers as many quit or reduce their work hours.

We need to find ways to support women who do a disproportionate amount of home healthcare for loved ones.

@sarahanguyen @NadineTruong please help any way you can. This is such a hard road

[Uyen-Khanh Quang-Dang, MD, MS @ukqdMD]

@sarahanguyen Thank you so much for sharing. When I imagine my own 71yo dad being kicked and stomped on, my heart shatters. No matter what ethnicity, there's a unique & profound tragedy of any older adult being attacked.

[American Psychiatric Association @APApsychiatric]

Today, APA is taking an important step in addressing racism in psychiatry. We are beginning the process of making amends for both direct and indirect acts of racism in psychiatry, we apologize for our contributions to structural racism and pledge enacting anti-racist practices.

@NadineTruong Oh geez! Why.

@tomaspueyo Another one I like is "Don't believe everything you think."

Oh, man.

The new virus strain is ~60% more infectious. We haven’t processed what that means.🧵

1. Western countries that didn’t stop the previous variant won’t be able to stop this one. It’s already in UK, US, FR, NL... that we know. Probably many more places.

Hooray, American Psychiatric Association!!!!

[Saul Levin, MD, MPA @SaulLevinMD]

This judge’s ruling in Wit v United Behavioral Health is a major victory for our patients and our profession. We must continue to hold insurers accountable and stop discriminatory practices against patients with mental illness and substance use disorders.

@BibhavAcharya With tweets like these, you inspire me to want to tweet more. Thank you, Bibhav.
