@PsychiatristCNS Children’s brains haven’t even developed fully until mid20s. Who in their right mind would interfere with this development by introducing mind altering drugs, there should be a ban until their brains have fully developed

What if mood stabilizers, not antidepressants alone, are the answer for self-injury in depressed teens? New meta-analysis in JCP shows that across mood stabilizer studies (lithium, valproate), response rates doubled and patients showed significant improvements in anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and self-injury severity. The mechanism: targeting impulsivity and aggression, not just mood elevation. Critical context—NSSI affects 51-52% of adolescents with depression, and medication-free periods showed fewer NSSI episodes than SSRI treatment in some studies.

I think it is also that by highlighting the fact that antidepressants cause physical dependence and can lead to severe and persistent withdrawal symptoms (like benzodiazepines), we highlight the fact that they disrupt normal brain functioning, which sounds and is dicey.

Why do SSRI tapering and deprescribing provoke so much pushback? Because if withdrawal can be this severe and mimic relapse this closely - and take years of tapering to avoid - then many people told they “needed the drug” may actually have been in withdrawal rather than "relapse". If that's true, the case for long-term treatment begins to crack. And with that, much of mainstream psychiatry's legitimacy. But paradigms resist before they change = hence the pushback. Conclusion: this community matters. Come join. You’ll meet the best of people.

@ABridgen Thank you! This iatrogenic condition is known as Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). The medical establishment has covered up this devastating possibility for at least 4 decades and no one has yet been held accountable.

Antidepressants can lead to physical changes in the genitals. Dr. Ahad Waraich, through the use of ultrasounds, has detected penile scarring (fibrosis) in young men experiencing #PSSD. The penile tissue of young PSSD patients usually resembles that of an 80-year-old person.

'Psychiatry has normalised long-term psychotropic use while investing remarkably little effort into understanding its long-term consequences.' The ASCP statement on deprescribing does little to change this. By @markhoro and @cwestonclark madintheuk.com/2026/05/rearra…

The Great British net zero con-trick of Drax.
The Labour government is trying to force through an extension that would give Drax an estimated £1.8bn in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11bn it has already received.
Drax has burned an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Burning wood creates 18% more CO2 emissions than coal.
And here’s the con trick: Drax is a sneaky way of exporting our CO2 emissions. We pay billions of pounds to cut down ancient forests in the US and Canada, ship the wood across the Atlantic in diesel tankers, then burn it in a Yorkshire-based power station.
And here’s the kicker - the CO2 emissions tally is not counted against the country that burns it, but the country that grows it. So Drax emissions are counted against the countries who grow and export the wood for Drax - like Canada and USA…not UK who burn it. So the UK can reduce CO2 figures by importing the burning wood grown elsewhere.
A gigantic net zero con-trick.

You are ridiculous
If anyone is frightened by British flags, love and cohesion, singing and grannies and kids or gospel choirs
They need help
The Unite the Kingdom is about unity and love for this country and against those that want to divide and push anger and hatred and demonise this country
