Psychiatry says “antidepressant withdrawal is rare, short in duration and self-limiting.” Patients are going in droves to seek help since the field continues to ignore wd as a FACT for many. Below 👇 current numbers in withdrawal support groups.

I wonder if any of the prominent voices on this platform who attack critics of the current mental health paradigm for supposedly enabling disability cuts have ever directed the same scrutiny at Sir Simon Wessely - the celebrated ‘man of science’ who has arguably done more than

”The 9-question survey many doctors use to diagnose depression was actually created by an antidepressant manufacturer”

Patients: "Hey I no longer have basic civil rights. My psych hospitalization resulted in lifelong systemic discrimination and I'm now viewed by gov't institutions as being worse than people convicted of actual crimes." Psychiatrists: "BUT WHY DONT PEOPLE SEEK HELP FROM US??"

The Hospitalist came in with a psych resident and told me I couldn’t leave if I didn’t talk to them. I’m exposing their corruption.

No, the Sackler’s did not have a leading role in the opioid overdose or what they call addiction crisis, even though there was never an addiction crisis. They had 3or 4% of the market. But let’s keep on talking about the Sacklers because it’s fun instead of discussing what’s

I’m getting discharged from the hospital tonight.

Imagine the tick that drinks the blood of every woodland creature out there. Mixing in that soup a legion of microorganisms and parasites together with moose, deer, badger, mink, Lynx, elk, raccoon, fox juices. Now imagine that soup getting jetted into your blood. Be tick safe.

A woman having a heart attack: “It’s just anxiety. Go home.” She dies. A woman shows emotions: “You’re seriously ill. Your personality is faulty. You have bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Here’s a prescription. You’ll never get better.”

Dr. Josef 🇺🇸 During years of work as a psych nurse, I saw many patients who had been taking antidepressants for years suddenly develop mood swings. This led to a new diagnosis of bipolar disorder, requiring new types of medications to be added. Why does no one talk about this?

There’s a sad trend today: people clinging to mental health labels and psychiatric meds like they’re badges of empowerment. They’re told meds make them modern, responsible—even brave. But this illusion was carefully crafted by pharma PR firms pushing a “meds-first” mindset. They

‘Functioning’ on SSRIs often means tolerating a life you would’ve rejected before meds.

Robert Putnam’s ‘The Upswing’ traces the cycling between “I” and “We” in American life over the past century. You can see here how the 4 great catastrophic disruptions of the first half of the 20th century drove the emergence of a collective focus. Of a ‘we’. /1

One reason for it expands is bc it's framed as a 'right' which opens floodgates to arguments that people who are not eligible are being 'discriminated' against & thus 'oppressed.' It is also a terrible source of validation amidst medical gaslighting & society that denies care.

A major cheat code in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.

I’m still not doing well after being discharged from the hospital. I’m legitimately wondering if I need to go back.
