This video illustrates how too-fast psychotropic withdrawal has a domino effect throughout the nervous system and, consequently, many body systems: youtube.com/watch?v=7Nn7NZ… It can take a while for all the dominoes to fall, explaining delayed withdrawal symptoms.
The US/UK Diagnostic Project. Every psychiatrist should know about this: a study that changed the course of psychiatry and showed its limits. 🧵 Summary: 1971, 600 psychiatrists reviewed 8 interviews of patients. They came to very different conclusions -> It led to the…

It's all in your head.
What’s the most outrageous thing a medical professional has ever said to you?

For Aeon, I wrote about targeted individuals, “paranoia,” and the failure of medical psychiatry to help those most in need. I also consider what should come next. Deeply grateful to those who shared their stories with me @aeonmag aeon.co/essays/how-the…
Asking for references is not rejecting. No behavioral genetics investigations have panned out. Why should heroin addiction have more of a genetic basis than alcoholism? Apologies for the lack of genuflection. Still dubious. FYI Character of nationalpaincouncil.org is unclear.
Now here's a surprise. Lykos found MDMA-assisted psychotherapy to be cost-effective. 😁
It does show that costs are higher (obviously!), but it also finds it to be cost-effective. (The work was funded by Lykos.)
Psychiatry is still trying to crush grief.
While grief-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (PG-CBT) was initially superior to present-centered therapy (PCT) in reducing prolonged grief disorder symptoms, this advantage was not maintained at follow-up. ja.ma/4hOA0E3
The phrase ‘mental disorder’ brings to the facts of suffering the medical philosophy it claims to derive from them.
THIS IS NORMAL CARE
My hypertensive crisis (Conns Syndrome) was dismissed as anxiety because I had previously been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. Psychiatric labels can result in clinician bias & poor quality health care.
Statistics is hard enough for most people as it is; please stop using the phrases "type I" and "type II" errors. Unless, of course, your goal is to confuse people - in which case, congrats - you've succeeded! Just say "false positive" and "false negative" instead.

I’m incredibly proud of my friend & collaborator Harriet Fagerberg, whose paper, “A domino theory of disease,” was just accepted to Philosophy of Science. I think it’s the most important philosophical work on disease/disorder since Jerome Wakefield’s 1992 paper…1/6 @H_Fagerberg
Should a 15 year old girl undergo ECT for depression and anxiety? This seems off to me,
How do you know your mental health diagnosis is accurate or correct?
Big moment for me.
I am seeing more and more people who want to come off their antidepressant, so I am glad to have finally ordered and received the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines by @markhoro and David Taylor. It is full of useful advice on all aspects of withdrawal based on available evidence
Following the storm of interest provoked by our 2022 review, I am pleased to announce the publication of my book telling the story of the serotonin theory of depression from the beginning to recent times. Due out Jan 2025. To pre-order lnk.to/chemicallyimba… @flint_books 1/3
I’m masking my innate ADHD. Can you tell?
For those who were prescribed antidepressants as children and chose to stop taking them in adulthood, what was the first change you noticed? Was it positive or negative? Did you experience any new side effects, or did existing ones stop? How has it changed you as a person?
