Yesterday I convened an Emergency Committee on the #Ebola outbreak in the #DRC and #Uganda. The Committee agreed that the situation is a public health emergency of international concern. @WHO assesses the risk of the epidemic as high at the national and regional levels, and low at the global level.

Today, I led 15 of my colleagues in sending a letter to RFK Jr. calling out his dangerous and wrong attacks on critical psychiatric medications. 
HHS should be focused on the systemic drivers of our nation’s mental health crisis, not spreading misinformation.

Ebola is not currently a threat to where most of you live It's a massive, potentially catastrophic threat to the millions of people living in the affected region in central Africa. That should be reason enough to give a damn.

@akafaceUS For psychiatry its the same. Only the appointments are usually less than 5 minutes long. My shortest appointment was 30 seconds. I timed it

Has anyone else noticed that doctor’s offices ask you to arrive 15 minutes early, but then you end up waiting 30 minutes past your appointment time to actually be seen?

@wendyburn @PSSDNetwork @ompsychiatrist For what it's worth, I've had PSSD for 15 years and I never went back to my doctor since he was so dismissive of side effects I reported to him. I knew he wouldn't believe me and he couldn't help me. I still reported it to MHRA but that doesn't do much.

Om Prakash, MD@ompsychiatrist·
Dr. Moncrieff, your post is sparking a vital debate, but as a psychiatrist seeing patients climb out of severe depression every single week, I can’t stay silent on the one-sided narrative. Here’s my perspective point by point: 1. On harms like severe withdrawal and PSSD: Withdrawal is real and can be tough. We urgently need better & slower tapering protocols. PSSD is a rare but acknowledged risk, and we discuss it openly in consent. With careful, patient-led tapering, the vast majority stop without lasting issues. 2. On effectiveness (“not very effective at best”): Large meta-analyses (Cipriani Lancet 2018 and later network studies) show clear & meaningful benefits over placebo for moderate-to-severe depression i.e. real symptom relief, fewer relapses and better daily functioning for many. They shine brightest alongside with therapy. 3. On not targeting an underlying biological abnormality: The old “chemical imbalance” line is a strawman we’ve moved past. Depression involves complex biology involving genetics, stress responses, inflammation and neuroplasticity. Antidepressants help modulate those pathways, much like treatments for other multifactorial conditions. 4. On growing patient voices describing treatment as misleading or disabling: Every voice matters, especially the painful ones. In clinic, however, the majority of patients report getting their lives back i.e. work, relationships & hope. Untreated depression carries its own heavy costs. Online spaces can sometimes amplify one side. 5. On working together to help the harmed and prevent more harm: I am 100% with you on better surveillance, tapering clinics and more research into alternatives. Real collaboration would be powerful. At the same time, broad discouragement risks leaving many who could benefit stuck in suffering. Thank you for kind attention @joannamoncrieff

I can understand this is a difficult time for my psychiatry colleagues. I am sure they all have good intentions, but it turns out that the most widely used psychiatric treatment, antidepressants, causes significant iatrogenic effects (e.g. severe withdrawal reactions, PSSD), is not very effective (at best) and does not target an underlying biological abnormality after all. Although many people still seek a psychiatric diagnosis and a medical approach, increasing numbers highlight how misleading and disabling this approach can be. Their voices are starting to be heard, and we need to work with them to provide help for people who have been harmed by psychiatric treatment, and to prevent more harm being done. Trying to shoot the messenger doesn’t help anyone.
