From them: antidepressants work, chemicals 'determine' behaviour and depression may be related to a chemical called TrkB. From me: 'We are medicalising the consequences of social and economic policies'
Andy Extance@andyextance
There's a feisty dispute over antidepressants between researchers who see depression primarily as having biochemical causes and those who see it as a consequence of a broken society. Thanks to @HashemiLab @joannamoncrieff and @castren_eero! Read more at: chemistryworld.com/features/why-d…

When we have celebrities making inappropriate remarks and references about epilepsy, is it any wonder some people with a diagnosis are afraid of stigma and misunderstanding? Need some awareness training @catdeeley @ITV?
It’s inappropriate and offensive.

Just 2 months ago for Purple Day, @catdeeley you helped raise awareness about epilepsy & still end up saying something thoughtless.
Your careless use of language has real consequences for people with epilepsy who already face so much stigma.
This is why we need more awareness!

We've raised concerns about people being advised to perform CPR in response to a seizure with ambulance trusts.
If you've been incorrectly advised to perform CPR during or after a seizure, let us know the date, rough time and where it happened so we can share it with the trust.

Maybe this should say “… the Govt used it’s faux majority, gained under FPTP …”

“This afternoon the Government used its majority to pass a new ‘Strategy and Policy statement’ meant to guide the work and priorities of the UK elections body.”

Jacques Delors a été diabolisé au 🇬🇧 par les tabloïds et les “No, no, no” de Thatcher à ses projets intégrationnistes. Même la BBC le qualifie encore de “fédéraliste fanatique”.
Il était tout le contraire, analyse @campbellclaret dans un très bel hommage. independent.co.uk/voices/jacques…

If MPs are keen to spy on poor people's bank accounts, why don't they try it on themselves first? @GreenJennyJones Red flags for undeclared incomes? Plans to spy on bank accounts of the poor, disabled and carers (due in the Autumn Statement). @BigBrotherWatch #ToryCorruption

As the mother of a special needs 35 year old daughter, the staggering ignorance and cruetly of what Isabel Oakeshott says here is inexcusable.

Isabel Oakeshott suggests that people on disability benefits 'muck around' Is that like when Suella Braverman referred to homelessness as a lifestyle choice? #BBCQT

He was warned by the Speaker of House of Commons he'd be kicked out if he didn't withdraw the word "Dodgy"
