Wow! Camila and #Kids Company finally vindicated in the High Court. Where does this leave the reputations and credibility of The Spectator, Daily Mail, Buzz Feed and Newsnight who executed the politically motivated campaign to take her down? theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/f…

@JonathanPieNews @badsciencemonk OMG Yes he looked so lost + the panic! Admitting he wasn’t writing his own autocue, owning being a media cockroach + crowning him shagger of the year - the verse search dead air. The growing frozen in the headlights gaze as Scoop of The Year turned TV shake down! #piers!

Should children, who’s brains are still developing, be exposed to stimulants, which act in the same way as street drugs Amphetamine and Cocaine, under the guise of ‘treatment’?

@ruthdelioncourt @DrMcFillin There’s a crucifix next to your name - bit of a tell that this is all about religious fundamentalism. Didn’t the Pope try science denial Galileo? Say hi to Father Roger for me and the rest of the x disciples.

@Mike_Tims @DrMcFillin Ohhh the reason is your entire identity is adhd and short form media. Really? No one has told you how horrible short form media is for adhd?

Anyone who desires an ADHD diagnosis can receive it. The entire label is illegitimate. Yet people are developing an entire identity around it.

@DrMcFillin Well that’s 30 years of nueroscience and epigenetics binned with the DSM and the twin studies and all the brain imaging , signalling, neurochemical measuring techniques in the bin. Along with the genome. Are you a fundamentalist Christian/catholic by any chance?

Dr. Roger McFillin@DrMcFillin·
The frame is wrong, and the stakes are too high to let it stand. There is no biomarker for depression, bipolar, ADHD, or any DSM category. No scan, no blood test, no genetic test diagnoses any of it. Real brain diseases have identifiable pathology. Hippocampal changes and amygdala activity show up in meditators, musicians, grieving widows, and trauma survivors. The brain changes in response to experience. That is not disease. That is being human. All of us. But why let a good story get in the way truth? The genetic story collapses under any scrutiny. Decades of GWAS research produced no depression gene, no schizophrenia gene, no anxiety gene. Polygenic scores explain trivial variance. Yet patients are still told their suffering is hereditary and permanent. That is a lie with the worst of consequences. The chemical imbalance story was marketing, not science. Thirty years of patients were deceived to move product. The harm is documented. SSRIs cause emotional blunting, persistent sexual dysfunction, severe withdrawal, and FDA-acknowledged suicidality. Antipsychotics shrink the brain. ECT damages memory. Harrow's long-term data and WHO outcome studies show patients off drugs recover better. Hospitals do not follow people long enough to see it. What else do we need at this point? The most ethical and innovative neuroscientists are clear: our knowledge of the brain is in its infancy. Psychiatric care espouses otherwise. It repeats lies to justify treatments that continue to harm. What would happen to you? Your profession? Your livelihood if you had to face this reality? Live not by lies. Truth-telling is the beginning of real medicine.

Dear Dr Roger @DrMcFillin, let me explain how this actually plays out in my hospital. Me or my team member sit with each patient for a full, interview, often an hour or more. We go through their story, symptoms, trauma & family context. Do a mental status exam and basic labs to rule out medical causes like thyroid issues or anemia. We don’t order brain scans for every case of depression not because the brain isn’t involved, but because scans are not diagnostic at an individual level. That is true across much of medicine. Across research studies, we do consistently see changes: hippocampal volume loss, overactive amygdala & disrupted circuits. There is also a clear genetic signal. For many patients, life stress doesn’t just “feel bad”, it alters how the brain functions. In my hospital, I have seen people who were barely holding on, some actively suicidal, gradually recover with the right combination of therapy, support, medication & ECT. Telling someone in that state to “just awaken” may sound appealing, but it does not help the person sitting in front of you in crisis. If that same mother walked into your office, overwhelmed, hopeless, thinking about ending her life, what would you offer her, concretely, in that moment?

@MikhailaFuller @DrMcFillin But for many these are life savers that bring people back from being lost and or suicide. We have to recognise the complexity here - the good and the bad - if we don’t others suffer. There’s an anti-pharma bandwagon denying everything - but it’s just as bad as all pills are good

@MikhailaFuller @DrMcFillin Hi Mikhaila. I love and admire you and your father. Huge inspiration and clarity for me. I’m so sorry you are going through all this again - it’s heartbreaking and terrible. But I just want to make the point that all medication has side effects - in this case terrible…

I’ve had over 400 new submissions in the last 3 days about heart-breaking experiences with psychiatric medications. People who took them exactly as prescribed and ended up with long-term, terrible damage. Many weren’t even on them long-term. These stories will be on prescribed-harm.com.

@DrMcFillin What exactly is your problem? How is it even your problem? Are you a psychiatrist? No. Neuroscientist? No. Medically trained doctor. No. Do you have ADHD? No. Maybe someone who did really upset you/annoyed you. Maybe some therapy might help you get over it or yourself?

I have 'ADHD' therefore I am unable to.... or My 'ADHD' is responsible for my (insert undesirable behavior). Pretty much sums up my problem w/ the mental health industrial complex

@ruthdelioncourt @DrMcFillin Honestly I don’t think anyone would benefit from your sympathy. I was wondering what could possibly be wrong with you. Checked your profile - I’ll say a Hail Mary for you.

@DrMcFillin Anyone who claims ADHD but uses short form media gets zero sympathy from me. It’s like an alcoholic downing whiskey complaining about his liver. Quit drinking and we can talk. Get off the apps that make us have no attention span and then we can talk.

@drphibesphd @RiiverStyx @DrMcFillin Actually I think you are an idiot. Such a high rate of idiocy in PhD influencer world. Lucky for her you’ve decided “I don’t talk to her anymore because she’s such a fucking downer.” 🤡

@DrMcFillin A friend is a psychologist who, even despite learning that she has an autoimmune disease that affects brain function, would cling to the label of ADHD because I think it is an empowered form of helplessness to have a label/diagnosis

@stimimi Play as dumb as you like. Be as patronising and cool descending toward me as you like “psychiatrist” to someone with ADHD. 4 decades of real neuroscience as summarised in my replies evidences what you deny. Not a good look and one which I’m sure the GMC will agree is concerning.
