Psychiatric diagnoses/The DSM lack validity The experiences & behaviours that come to be described as psychiatric diagnosis are very real and valid. Extrapolating that these experiences & behaviours constitute real verified medical illnesses is not valid. youtu.be/DO_X1guRru0

@UpsideofBipolar @joannamoncrieff @JuliaRucklidge @DrDannyPenman Well, as you probably already know, recovery-oriented approaches are "dangerous"- to those who uphold the current deluded paradigm and benefit from it. The possibility & reality of recovery threatens to blow their accepted though misguided supremacy in global MH out of the water.

Who gets to decide which “experts” we’re supposed to trust?

Another psychiatrist I have never heard of or interacted with who has blocked me. The professional equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears, and these people are prescribing life-altering drugs.

@UpsideofBipolar Yes. And what you describe - claiming explanation or cause when it is merely descriptive - is a common deceitful practice that has been flagged as wrong, as a logical fallacy, a fallacy of circular reasoning, makes doctors look more expert and important than they actually are.

@DrTerryLynch Yes! The diagnosis stops curiosity into the source of the symptoms because it misleads people into thinking they have been given an explanation when in reality the diagnosis merely describes the symptoms.

The diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder is keeping people from healing.

Remarkable that this study is still being touted as evidence in support of medication for depression. Even the author, was moved to describe the added value of antidepressants over placebo as ‘trivial’.
Psychiatry Excellence@psycheureka

Which antidepressants work most effectively, and which barely beat placebo? The largest meta-analysis (Cipriani et al., 2018) compared 21 antidepressants in 116,477 patients, revealing striking differences in efficacy and tolerability. Here’s how this data can transform your prescribing practice 🧵👇

The chemical imbalance myth is modern psychiatry’s original sin. It is an unsubstantiated lie that was invented to sell drugs and promote treatment compliance. Now it has become an endemic piece of misinformation that is accepted as truth by much of the general public.

People diagnosed with schizophrenia are not schizophrenics. Why are many MH professionals using the word schizophrenic? It is dehumanizing, as though these people who experience great suffering are not even human beings. Stigma from within the MH system.

Very, very important thread. All involved in mental health care ought be aware. Well summarised by @JDaviesPhD
Dr James Davies (PhD) 💭@JDaviesPhD

🧵 What do SSRIs really do to your emotions? A major Oxford study (by researchers supportive of antidepressants) explored the lived experiences of SSRI users (experiences not captured by RCTs). What participants revealed about emotional blunting is disturbing… So here we go👇

I hope someone is keeping records of these posts - they will be very illustrative of a certain sort of thinking at a certain moment in history. Fascinating stuff. I think you are supposed to take snapshots rather than re-posting but I am not a pro like Dr Rege.

Most therapists are scared to admit it, but SSRIs can undermine the therapeutic process (& often do). By blunting emotions, they can dial down the very signals & experiences therapy depends upon to work; creating a form of dissociation that less enables than disrupts healing.
