Psychiatrists have a set of highly specialised skills that are irreplaceable. So, let’s play a game.

bmj.com/content/389/bm… NHS review uncovers failings in Calocane’s care: ignored family warnings, poor risk assessment, let him refuse meds due to needle fear, lost contact after discharge - despite knowing violence risk. Tragic Sounds like any MI homicide. #forensicpsychiatry

Serious mental illness is chronically underrated by systems, by the public, even by individual clinicians. Untreated it doesn’t just just go away, it invariably escalates. Forensic psychiatric hospitals exist for what happens when we look away; we can't afford to. #psychtwitter

"Dr A said Cauchi was not showing symptoms of a relapse while his dose of clozapine was gradually being lowered. In her opinion, this meant he was “in full remission” from the condition." Until relapse. Sorry but no. This just means clozapine was working. thenightly.com.au/australia/nsw/…

Building more jails is a short-sighted response that focuses on punishment and NOT addressing the root causes. This is not how to rehabilitate people & reduce crime! Investing in education, mental health support, addiction services, & community programs would be more effective.

I just failed a student for submitting an AI-written research paper, and she sent me an obviously AI-written email apologizing, asking if there is anything she can do to improve her grade. We are through the looking-glass, folks.

Highly recommend getting this book or audiobook by Nancy McWilliams. Reading each chapter 3-4 times is required to really grasp the depth. This chapter on depressive personality is articulate, nuanced, and the best I have found written on it.

I have no words. I don't understand how to live in a world where someone would take a father away from his young children for having a different opinion.
