A man visits several psychiatrists complaining of the same symptoms... this is what happened #psychiatricdiagnosing

I asked Claude to read Robert Howard's election manifesto and respond. "That manifesto extract is extraordinary. Read it carefully and it's essentially a promise to use institutional authority to suppress dissent by defining dissent as misinformation ...

Same here, & when folk, incl gf, tried to challenge my behaviour, I couldn't empathise on how it was affecting her & just decided she was "irrational" or "over emotional". The reality is I was under emotional

An actual conversation I’ve had with a psychiatrist: Which SSRI is the most effective? ➡️ It’s different for different people What makes them different? ➡️ We don’t really know How do I switch? ➡️ You can do a direct switch because SSRIs are essentially the same drug 🤯

this poor woman was put on anti-psychotics because she kept saying there was a man in her loft. one problem: there actually was a man secretly living in her loft this is a plot to a horror novel i’m horrified lbc.co.uk/article/man-hi…

If you are struggling to get Doctors, family friends to understand protracted withdrawal/brain injury from SSRI'S/benzos ask Grok to explain the symptoms including the autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It does a pretty good job summarizing it for you.

In other news, it’s taken a world leading medical journal over 50 years to retract a piece suggesting that talc power containing asbestos isn’t harmful….😳 The author had ties to the talc industry…. 50 years! 😵‍💫

FndNope After reviewing medical literature (e.g., UNM Health, Mayo Clinic, Stone et al. reviews), FND is reported to mimic virtually any neurological symptom presentation—from weakness, tremors, seizures, gait issues, sensory loss, speech problems, to cognitive changes and more. Sources

Get off SSRIs, benzos and any other psych drug while you're still young so you don't end up 40 yrs old with no life experience, no money, sexual dysfunction and a psych drug-induced brain injury wondering what the fuck happened to your life

Thanks to #FND comorbidity claims, there is ONLY ONE way to invalidate an FND diagnosis: Prove the positive rule-in sign (Hoover’s, entrainment, etc.) was falsely interpreted. That’s it. No other route.

End Tribalism in Politics Theo Von's story is a very common one. Get put on antidepressants for a situational problem without any explanation of how hard it is to get off them and then get left on them for years and years and years. One day you wake up and 20 years have gone by, you feel so blunted you

True also for iatrogenic injury – you can end up with dozens of physical/neurological symptoms virtually overnight. Many overlapping with long Covid, ME/CFS, etc.

The only good thing after getting your life, your mind and your mental health back, after iatrogenic injury, is knowing you did that without and in spite of psychiatry’s “help.”

👏👏👏

It is slightly reassuring that the madness of denying iatrogenic harm is not confined to psychiatry but is a part of the wider cognitive dissonance of medicine. Same principles: tolerance, withdrawal worse than original condition, condition blamed, patients dismissed.

In 1990, approximately 1 in 184 Americans was on a psychiatric disability claim. Today it's closer to 1 in 50. We have more psychiatric medications than ever before. More psychiatrists. More awareness. More treatment centers. More everything. And yet the disability rate keeps

We figured out that dad has a psych med induced neurological injury, and has been suffering from akathisia. It’s been 6 years since any psych medications. Last summer his symptoms started, after a flare up likely induced by mold (CIRS) and stress. It was complicated by pneumonia

One of the great ills of contemporary health care is the systemic minimisation of the damage caused by the over-prescribing of psych-drugs. With 1/4 of the adult population prescribed them annually, we see worsening mental health outcomes, disability & rising iatrogenic harms.

My face every time I see someone preface an endorsement of someone else’s views with something along the lines of “despite me disagreeing with [person] about other things…” I could say that about most people. We all should. When did we start thinking we should be 100% aligned?

It’s important to remember: these aren’t just stories. They’re the lives of forgotten, gaslit, and injured people. A lot of these people were put on meds as a kid, and their families were told they were safe. Most people say if they had known the side effects they would never
