A tribunal has ordered the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to release a report that describes the impact of its errors on disabled benefit claimants, following a three-year fight to keep the document secret. tinyurl.com/25ze72u9

This is now the THIRD time I’ve covered a story where a woman has been put on antipsychotic medication for saying that someone was living in her house - and each time the woman was right - and each time a man was eventually arrested and found to be living in her loft. 1 case in Australia 2 cases in UK. This is of course absolutely atrocious - but also serves to prove that there is ZERO science to a psychiatric disorder diagnosis. This young woman was put on heavy antipsychotics that made her feel like a zombie - for trying to report that someone was living in her loft. What scientific or clinical process led to the diagnosis that she was psychotic and delusional? NOTHING. What rationale was there for the antipsychotics? NOTHING. In cases like this, women are disproportionately represented. Women try to report abuse, violence, concerns - and are still being chalked up as ‘mad’ with no evidence whatsoever. I have been working really hard behind the scenes for months now to build something that can step in when this kind of thing happens - and I will explain more soon. There has to be a way to stop this from happening. Women like Chloe are everywhere, in every country - being gaslit and medicated for no reason when they try to report concerns. Pathologisation is rife - and it must end. Psychiatric diagnosis and medication has no basis in science. She deserves compensation and to have all of this struck from her medical record immediately @LBC

This study finds that psychiatrists who worked on DSM-5 received $14M in undisclosed funding from the pharmaceutical industry; the very industry that has profited enormously from DSM's over-medicalisation of everyday life. bmj.com/content/384/bm…

Nick Reiner had just switched to different psych medications for his Schizophrenia diagnoses in the weeks leading to him killing his parents. That is not a coincidence.

@ResearchPixie Please do

65M Americans take psychiatric drugs. 1 in 4 adults. Nearly 1 in 10 kids. Millions are medicated, numbed, and stuck with no safe way out. If this affects you—or someone you love—this thread matters 🧵

Just ridiculous how big pharma manipulates data, refusing to recognise the devastating consequences for people’s lives

Study: a ketogenic diet significantly increases blood flow to the brain in comparison to a standard diet. Most low carbers know how this feels. It's the proverbial mental clarity that many say has cured their depression and even drastically improved schizophrenia in others.

The findings point to a growing cultural tendency to interpret common emotional experiences through the lens of pathology, potentially shaping how people understand themselves, seek help, and relate to one another. madinamerica.com/2025/07/study-…

Late last year, Tony Warne - the chair of Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust - put out a blog post in which he compared three patients he encountered to crows. The backlash was just an indication of a broader strife that had been building at the Trust.

Cuts “are not human rights compliant. They are being rushed through without proper scrutiny, transparency or engagement with those who stand to lose the most. We urge MPs to stand firm against a Bill that continues to discriminate, harm, and marginalise.” independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

The Psychiatric Iceberg.

Tapering off psychiatric drugs can be disorienting, overwhelming, and so often misunderstood by everyone around us. Join Daniel, Meredith, and Leela on Friday, June 13th at 2:00pm EST, as they share personal stories from their time in the thick of tapering and withdrawal. Together, they reflect on what’s helped them stay grounded, what they’ve learned along the way, and how they’ve made it through some of the hardest moments.

@NTFabiano Is that with of without caffeine?
