SSRI harm Why! can't I tell how my skin is supposed to feel? When I touch my skin I can't really describe it. I can tell I'm touching my skin but I dont know, my brain is supposed to tell me something! Where's the information? How am I to live like this.

I’m kinda convinced the people who say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar are narcissists who don’t want to be confronted. (Also, you would actually catch more flies with apple cider vinegar than honey, if trying to catch flies.)

What is wrong with my brain (oh, right). There’s a guy who healed himself from MECFS by treating a gut infection or something… he was knowledgeable. We had a long conversation… I can’t find it in my DMs… who are you…?

Calley Means As my late husband always said, "just follow the money." That advice couldn't have been more spot-on when we uncovered how the antidepressant Zoloft he was prescribed off-label for insomnia, supposedly “safe and effective,” played a direct role in his death. Before he died, I

A psychologist who groomed a 15-year-old remains free to practice? This is what happens when we prioritise protecting abusers over protecting children. The system is broken—and it fails victims, again and again.

Most Psychiatric Research Is a Farce I honestly can’t remember the last time I came across psychiatric research that actually benefitted patients. The worst of it? Drug research. After working with the FDA and in the pharmaceutical industry, I’ve seen firsthand how poor our

I’m posting feedback from a group of UK psychiatrists to my recent lecture not to be self-aggrandising but to try to counter the effect given by the defensive psychiatrists on X that most clinicians are hostile to changing practice/new info.

I am absolutely petrified & no one truly seems to care. No one from my “real” life who could help me, cares. Never been this sick. My cat’s hair is falling out. I can’t find safety even for a couple weeks. I will die and be another statistic and my harm will never be recognized.

I’ve never spoken to this woman in my life and yet I’m blocked. These people are scared of the truth. Look at her background photo. Sick people, wishing for the days when they could harm without being called out for it. This is #psychiatry.
