DSM-6 Will Be Structured Around Biomarkers—Despite Acknowledgment There Aren’t Any by Peter Simons The committee aims to use biomarkers to reorganize the whole project. The problem? They acknowledge that such biomarkers have not yet actually been found. buff.ly/vtgqFfz

Throughout history, critics of systems of power & oppression have been portrayed by elites as 'haters,' 'deviants', 'malicious' etc, while power (in this case, psychiatry) casts itself as benevolent - as an expression of love. This quote embodies such punative splitting perfectly

Ironically, by defining legitimate need for care only in terms of medical illness, psychiatry creates the very binary through which distress & disability is denied. If it is the only category allowed, then the fact of overdiagnosis becomes the basis for dismissing ...(1/3)
Awais Aftab@awaisaftab

I can’t help but see the British preoccupation with “overdiagnosis” as the flailing of a culture that has given up on the clinical mission of addressing the full spectrum of human distress and disability, because they think they can’t afford to provide the needed care (scarcity), because some people ought to suffer (stoicism), and because some people are only pretending to suffer (malingering).

But there is a third option, which is what critics have been saying all along, despite being misrepresented. It rejects the binary that creates the denial, recognising overdiagnosis without denying the very real suffering and disability behind it 👇 (3/3)

@AgnesTheTroll @m_aadil This in no way is meant to dismiss suffering. This suffering can be subsumed under the descriptive construct of depression. For some it's helpful to think about it this way.

@estherbeeee Ja genau, ich würde auch nichts davon für sich schon als "psychosozial" bezeichnen.

@PadbergThorsten Vollkommen richtig, dass Bio-Modelle in Mode sind. Aber nicht nur. Inneres Kind, Selbstreflexion, Mindset etc. (Pop-Psych) boomen auch.

Anders als überall behauptet, ist Psychologie nicht in Mode. In Mode sind Bio-Modelle psychischer Schwierigkeiten. Gleichzeitig läuft ein Kampf gegen eine psychosoziale Sicht. #honorarkürzung #psychotherapie

“If you rank all the places in the brain where changes occur, the attention areas are ranked last.” That is, the main “treatment” for ADHD is simply taking a drug to feel more awake and alert—like drinking coffee before going to work, but much stronger. madinamerica.substack.com/p/no-attention…

"There’s something going on in the online autism world, and it’s not healthy. Many people are terrified to say what they think, for fear of the sort of thing that has happened to me this week."
Naomi Fisher@naomicfisher

We started a podcast with the deliberate aim of talking to a range of voices. We had had enough of the polarisation and mudslinging of social media. We went to significant effort to seek out different perspectives. Our criterion was not whether they agreed with us, but whether we thought they would have an interesting angle to add. We made it clear in the podcast that the views of the guests did not necessarily represent those of the hosts. From the start we wanted this to be a space where people explained their ideas so that the listener could understand and make up their own mind. We wanted to model openness and tolerance of disagreement. We wanted to do something different to what happens on social media. When we released our first episode, with Dame Uta Frith, we quickly discovered why these conversations are impossible. She said things which some people disagreed with, and as a result they blamed us for platforming her. There was little reasoned discussion of her ideas, and a lot of flinging of mud. People I had worked with and who I respected recorded videos about the harm I was causing and how disappointed they were. Others made huge assumptions about what we, as interviewers thought, including dismissing the suffering and experience of others and having a right wing agenda to cut benefits. Things that Uta had not said were attributed to her, and by association to us. Immediately, our other podcast guests started to withdraw. People whose work I really respected and who had fascinating things to say backed away, scared perhaps that they too would be tainted by association. Their viewpoints were very different to Uta and that is exactly why we asked them. Just like when we interviewed Uta, we wanted to really hear and understand what they had to say. That won’t be possible now. There’s something going on in the online autism world, and it’s not healthy. Many people are terrified to say what they think, for fear of the sort of thing that has happened to me this week. Useful and valid viewpoints are not being heard. Self-censuring is rife. Online shaming has been normalised. As a result, the growth of knowledge is stifled. If you disagree with what Uta Frith said and you’d like to come on our podcast, please email me. We’d love to have you. neurosense.substack.com/p/why-we-need-…

I've had more than one person inform me that im an autistic in denial because I have such an interest in challenging the diagnostic inflation of the diagnosis. True story.
Awais Aftab@awaisaftab

The people who behave in this manner do a disservice to everyone, including those who are actually autistic. A big contributor to the collective knee-jerk reaction of distrust and skepticism towards "autism" is due to these self-appointed diagnostic evangelists.
