Great to present at the critical psychiatry conference today at UCL in London. In the q&a I addressed the co-option of critical ideas by government to justify inhumane cuts to disability. Some of my thoughts below 👇🤓

Our PhD student, Alison Branitsky, has officially published her main outcome paper on the feasibility and acceptability of delivering online hearing voices peer support groups in the NHS! Well done Alison! academic.oup.com/schizbullopen/…

Peer-led, Hearing Voices Groups offer a rare space for meaning-making & mutual understanding outside the biomedical model. Despite strong evidence for their efficacy, they remain underfunded and largely excluded from mainstream mental health services. madinamerica.com/2025/04/what-h…

At times like these of worry, its worth looking at the positives that exist now, and the positives that could exist moving forward. 1) No new laws have been introduced, and NO old laws have been removed. 1/

The idea that trans women should use men’s toilets, and trans men should use women’s toilets, is completely absurd and unworkable. Research has shown that half of trans people fear using toilets as it is. All of this will simply help drive trans people out of society.

Based on why I have seen, more and more younger psychiatric drug prescribers are sensing that keeping people on unlimited meds for unlimited years is a bad look and also can be riskier than helping them taper off

If you’ve been harmed by a mental health professional (and they can ruin lives, make no mistake), it can be extremely difficult to make sense of and heal from the experience. EXTREMELY difficult. So what happens if that history comes up in a therapy relationship you’re now in?

Thanks to Dr Rangan Chatterjee for having me on his show. It was refreshing to speak to a doctor who understands the enormity of the mistake we have made in allowing Pharma to shape how we understand and respond to our emotions
