As a practice of challenging myself with things outside of my comfort zone, I submitted a small collection of poetry to a publisher today! 😬 🫠 😵

This is a really important study. Physical health monitoring should be integral part of active treatment of eating disorders to avoid long term complications or premature mortality. Please share Marco Solmi James Downs Hope Virgo Royal College of Psychiatrists

Launching the next phase of #DumpTheScales next week! Looking for some press coverage - if you are interested please message me! #eatingdisorders

This is a fundamentally important new integration of physical, psychological and social factors - based on evolutionary principles. Just brilliant George Slavich

I find asking for money for campaigning really awkward and hard but I have set up this GoFundMe link to help support the #DumpTheScales movement. If you are able to donate or know anyone who would it would be absolutely amazing and really appreciated! gofundme.com/f/end-eating-d…

🧵 THREAD🧵 Autistic Communication Styles As an autistic person, my communication style might look a little different. Let’s explore how autistic people communicate and how embracing these differences leads to clearer, more meaningful conversations. #ActuallyAutistic

#BetterOffDead? the documentary I made to explain my opposition to assisted suicide has been shortlisted for a The Grierson Trust documentary award. Congrats to all who have a passion, a need to give voice to something & make a documentary. Here's mine: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

I feel strongly about this campaign: For too long, those affected by eating disorders have faced neglect & injustice, leading to avoidable deaths. Join me, sign the petition calling for a Confidential Inquiry into eating disorder deaths #EndEatingDisorders shorturl.at/qNPeD

As a big fan of compassion-focussed approaches, it's great to see investigations into their application in eating disorders such as anorexia. Do consider taking part in this research if you are eligible and interested!

Really thrilled my essay, “Restoring and Re-storying the Possibility of Recovery” has been published in The Lancet Psychiatry 🙏🏼 It’s all about the potential of narratives to confine, liberate, be imposed, be created… and more! thelancet.com/journals/lanps…
