Just unearthed this document from @NHS_ELFT stating that nurses and psychologists can make a formal diagnosis of #EUPD , as well as psychiatrists, as long as 5 of these 10 criteria are met. Half the population will now have a #personalitydisorder 🤦‍♀️

@dredbeveridge @rcpsych @apksachar @DrLadeSmith @raj_psyc Genuine question: why are you labelling them disordered then drugging and shocking them in that case? That makes no sense at all.

My beloved Dad would have been 100 today. In 2015 I flew to the US to see the airfield where he earned his wings in the RAF in 1944. Over 2,000 cadets were sent to Miami, Oklahoma as there was no capacity to train them at home. Love and miss you Dad 💞💖

Psychiatry seems to suffer from a kind of mass projection. As if everyone else is the problem, never them. Have they never heard of reflective practice?

This is my incredible friend Sarah @psychrecovery who suffered these devastating injuries from #ECT . Why is psychiatry so reluctant to engage with such damage from a procedure that is poorly regulated & with many glaring lapses in safety? This shouldn't be happening. #AuditECT

At no point during any of my consultations with my psychiatrists was I ever listened to. I was talked at not with. If they had actually listened to me they would have found that I was explaining sensory overload due to my aspergers not so called "mental illness ". Andy luff

This kind of base cruelty is what many iatrogenically harmed patients are confronted with. Drs who are incapable of holding themselves accountable, and who mock instead of listening to patients they have harmed should be removed from their posts.

@eddyman123456 @Andreschmitz24 I have been laughed at, and sneered at a number of times by doctors too, when explaining what happened to me with PSSD. I have also been told my PSSD symptoms were "health anxiety". It was very hurtful how the profession causing this harm, has openly sneered and laughed.

@PritchardJemima That's appalling, but sadly not uncommon. It locates the problem in the person who has suffered the abuse. This is completely wrong and unacceptable. I'm sorry this happened to you.

This 'study' is quite extraordinary. It suggests that anxiety about having #ECT is abnormal and that blunting is desirable. Having seen the consequences of ECT brain damage, I'd say being anxious about having it is a sane, sensible and perfectly understandable response.

“Monitoring (Information seeking and paying attention to consequences)” leads to higher “ECT -related anxiety”. Study recommends reducing it ! All time low even for ECT researchers? @PsychRecovery @LisaTMSA @MITUKteam @Mad_In_America

Getting very tired now of the "side effects are awful, but mental illness is much worse!" type tweets. You're not listening to people who have actually taken these drugs, or had #ECT , and suffered life changing injuries as a result. Ffs, get over yourselves and listen.

Friends, if it is your habit, can you pray, or do whatever it is you do to uphold and support a fellow soul in a desperate situation. The brutal assault on body, mind and soul of #PrescribedHarm must stop. Leaving people with no viable option for living is an abomination. 🙏🏻💞

Intrigued by his latest article for Psychology Today regarding antidepressant withdrawal, I found another great article from @christophlane on whistleblowing and medical fraud. One phrase jumped out for me: Institutional Cowardice.

Whistleblowers and Medical Fraud: A Book Review

A riveting new book examines the history—and price—of exposing corruption in medical research.

It really doesn't matter how badly psychiatrists on X behave, towards other professionals or harmed patients. There's always plenty of support for their vile behaviour, which is accompanied by a lack of empathy. If they were doing it to you, would it still be OK? I doubt it.

@NickTaber A friend of ours was given #ECT in the late 1960s for being homosexual. He experienced cognitive difficulties and memory loss (brain damage) after ECT. There was no benefit.

Inpatient mental health settings are unsafe, and the problem is not simply lack of resources, but the culture within them. Panorama's exposure of #Edenfield identified many areas of concern. Another promising young life lost, another devastated family. Change is long overdue.

Reports of abuse or death in inpatient mental health settings are becoming an all too familiar occurrence. Patients, and their families, deserve to feel safe in mental health settings.

You'd be depressed after ECT too if you were left with severe cognitive impairment and memory loss. Why do you people fail to acknowledge these life changing injuries?

There are 3 ways to prevent depression after ECT: 1. CBT Therapy 2. #Lithium + nortriptyline (or SNRI) 3. Maintenance #ECT (eg, monthly) In this large study of 19,944, maintenance ECT lowered hospitalization rates by 60%: #psychiatry
