@ReadReadj Almost a quarter of patients. And that's with unilateral ultrabrief ECT, which is supposed to cause less cognitive impairment and memory loss than bilateral...

22% of ECT patients suffer loss of life memories. (No other adverse effects measured)

@ReadReadj @DuthieAlyne The sad part is they think people are coming after their medication. Especially when half of this is protecting people stuck on them from being forced to taper and becoming injured. youtu.be/gYr2bVhGRvo?si…

@MerKat1984 I’m sorry to hear about that. I’m glad it stopped but I wish the mental health system treated fellow human beings in a more humane way and we didn’t need to escape this system. I shared about my experiences in the latest episode w/ @ReadReadj

Extremely well said. Summarizes the issue and provides a larger historical context (ie how we’ve been through the same progression with Benzo withdrawal). It is really heartening seeing this get national attention. Thank you @_AndersSorensen

9 minutes on psychiatric drug withdrawal in front of representatives from HHS, FDA, CDC & SAMHSA. I talk about ... why antidepressant withdrawal keeps getting mistaken for relapse, ... why hyperbolic tapering matters, ... and how we've been here before, repeating the same mistake we made with benzodiazepines and opioids. This conversation is finally reaching the institutions capable of changing guidelines and clinical practice.

More people are depressed and taking their own lives than ever before, even as SSRI use continues to skyrocket.
Laura Delano says it’s time society starts asking whether this drug based approach is actually working.
“1 in 4 adults are on these drugs now, 1 in 10 kids…”
“Yet more people are struggling.”
“More young people are trying to kill themselves than ever before.”
“So something isn’t making sense here.”

@benzosarebad @ReadReadj @rcpsych You are so right!! Completely ridiculous and absurd generalization to make!! Seriously?!? What was he thinking when he said that?!?
English
Quality of life results were even worse than effect on the problem for which the ECT was prescribed probably because QoL encompasses all the adverse effects.
Sinmayusculas@Dijo_Austerlitz
@ReadReadj How did researchers explain this? - 45% reported an improvement in the specific problem for which ECT had been prescribed... BUT - 61% reported that the treatment diminished the patients’ overall quality of life.
English
@Dijo_Austerlitz We asked ECT recipients (not their psychiatrists) what effects ECT had on them. Not perfect but who would know better?
English
@ReadReadj Difficulty concentrating, fatigue, emotional blunting, loss of indepence, relationship problems and even a deep feeling of rapidly eroding mental health are common in these patients before ECT.
How did researchers tackle/mitigate this problem?

He's a very strange character, this Tyler Black.
By hitting the block button he clearly believes:
A/ His own contradictory statements will magically vanish into the ether,
and
B/ His echo chamber will keep nodding along, all reading from the same tired playbook, thereby reinforcing the narrative he’s so desperate to protect.
Absolute 100% proof of a man who isn’t debating in good faith, he’s simply preaching for plaudits from his dwindling congregation.
BASED PSYCHIATRIST@BasedPsychMD
I earned this badge of honour. Didnt say anything other than post his own comments on his thread. A psychiatrist who cant face his own words. Shocker. If you dont lie you never have to remember what you said.

thank God this man did not become President of @rcpsych. What a ridiculous and sweeping generalisation to make about other professionals.

@RecoveryDoctor @tylerblack32 This is the smart, intellectually honest team standing against the harm caused to patients by some mainstream psychiatrists who minimise the risks of psychiatric drugs, particularly withdrawal, often driven by power, ego, and profit.
English
A must read from @tylerblack32 for anyone who cares about the "critical psychiatry" movement and their intellectual dishonesty. It must be dishonesty because these are some very smart people whose destructiveness towards patients is outweighed by their wish for power and money.
