Joe Tudor

My TEDxNHS talk “Understanding my Depression” is live! I felt lost and confused when I was told I had a chemical imbalance. My journey since has brought me the things I now value the most in my life. Please could you help by sharing? youtube.com/watch?v=X7GNLe…

My podcast is finally out (only took me 4 years). I've tried to create epsiodes that would have helped me at my lowest point. Episode 1 and 2 are out with James Scurry and @_AndersSorensen ! Available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts & Spotify: linktr.ee/joetudor

@HeathrowRunways I live in Kew and I'm struggling to understand how your tweets affect me. It's felt relentless with planes at night and in the morning for the last month or so. Is there any respite coming?

@HeathrowAirport Brillaint, thank you.

@JoeTudor_ Hi there, we do post runways in advance, for further information about runway operations, please visit: X - x.com/HeathrowRunways Web - heathrow.com/company/local-…

@HeathrowAirport do you ever release your intended flight paths? I get that you'll need flexibility, but it feels like we've not had much resbite for a month. It would help if we could at least manager our expectations, especially if we should leave our windows open at night.

Only a handful of tickets left for @joannamoncrieff 's talk tomorrow night. Come and join us if you're in London.

Looking forward to speaking at this event in London tomorrow hosted by @JoeTudor_ . Some tickets still available eventbrite.co.uk/e/chemically-i…

@Melanie84410075 Thanks so much Melanie, I really appreciate your support. Hopefully catch up soon.

Highly recommended. @JoeTudor_ is so compassionate and enthusiastic and knows personally the challenges depression brings. I received good feedback from a REST client I referred to Reconnect.

Thanks so much for sharing this one Terry. I find marketing really tough! I'm hopeful this get's out to the people who need it. I'm going to be hosting these talks every other week now.

Reconnect is back! I'm sharing more on my experience of depression and the tools that have helped me grow. Tools for transformation: rewriting your mental health story, will take place in Central London on Wed 26th Feb. Tickets are free/ donation based. eventbrite.co.uk/e/tools-for-tr…

@DrTerryLynch Thanks for sharing Terry. It needs these little pushes to keep momentum going.

Well worth a listen

@DrTerryLynch Thanks Terry, I look forward to reading this.

@DrJessTaylor This myth hit me hard. I spoke about this at TEDxNHS last year. I'd love your thoughts on my talk, where I focus on the personal consequences of this myth. Mainly, robbing us of hope and diverting us away from healing. youtube.com/watch?v=X7GNLe…

A myth that was started by pharma in the 1950s became a narrative embedded globally, to the point where people accept the lie that they have a chemical imbalance in their brain and they don’t even ask for a test to confirm it. Physicians and medical professionals believe it too - without once asking for proof it exists before medicating humans for an ‘imbalance’ they can’t test for or prove. This has to be, by far, one of the most successful scams of all time.

Great show this morning @amolrajan. I was told the serotonin story in 2017 by my GP. @joannamoncrieff is right to call this out. Who else was told they had a chemical imbalance? If you get a chance, give my TEDxNHS talk watcher where I talk about this: youtube.com/watch?v=X7GNLe…

@DrTerryLynch @jayjoseph22 Thanks for sharing, Terry. I'm less informed on the 'genetic' argument and it's something I hear quite a bit. Looking forward to becoming more informed.

Jay Joseph's books are excellent - detailed, informed, objective critiques of a highly biased, inaccurate and subjective "genetic" mental health world. @jayjoseph22

"I reinvested my beer money into private therapy. Now that was one of my better decisions!" TEDxNHS talk by my friend Joe Tudor on finding what he'd been told by his GP about his depression being the result of a chemical imbalance didn't hold true for him. youtube.com/watch?v=X7GNLe…
