Covid19 infections are damaging brains and causing some to have difficulty controlling their antisocial behaviours. (How to stop this is difficult, other than by making a concerted effort to prevent new infections, and by hoping that brains recover). infectioncontroltoday.com/view/understan…

@tylerblack32 @TheSGEM @DGlaucomflecken What about the zombie idea that infections are good for children, as some arrogant people at Don't Forget the Bubbles promoted, putting their friendships with arrogant doctors before science when DFTB obviously sided with the promoters of unhealthy mass infection?

@GeorgeKirov1 George, why don't you put your money where your mouth is and stick an ECT up your nose or in your mouth and share it with us all via a livestream video so we can see what ECT does to you? Go on. I dare you.

Here are some of my questions that are left to answer: How can we prolong the remission achieved with ECT? How to expand the use in other conditions? Why is there still no treatment that matches its effect? How to reduce the memory problems without losing the effectiveness? Why do women have higher rates of remission?
Dr John Read@ReadReadj

This paper does NOT answer the central questions: Does ECT alleviate depression, short or long-term? Does ECT alleviate the other conditions it is used for? Is ECT any better than placebo, for anything? How many people suffer memory loss/brain damage? Why do more women get it?

@salonium How corrupt psychiatry is as a profession. All the lies to keep people trapped and paying for endless prescriptions and psychiatric consultations to make them feel dopey and hopeless. Psychiatry likes to keep people miserable and medicated for its own financial advantage.

"Over 20% of women are on antidepressants" - this is not accurate. The latest figure is 15%, among women aged 18 and over in the US. cdc.gov/nchs/products/… But it's also worth knowing antidepressants are prescribed for anxiety as well as depression, and that they're often prescribed long term to prevent recurrence. So the statistic doesn't reflect how many women have depression and are being treated for it at a given time.

“Over 20% of women are on an antidepressant.” Trump: Is that good in terms of do they work? “We have a mental health crisis” Trump: Do they work?

@tylerblack32 Just like psychiatry and its dodgy DSM guidebook, with made up diseases to try to feign a legitimate reason for prescribing certain drugs to as many people as needed so the psychiatrist can live a materially advantageous lifestyle.

Please, stop saying "Big Pharma" doesn't want psychedelics. Big Pharma IS psychedelics. Venture capitalists are POURING money into psychedelics knowing the profits expected. They don't care about testing, safety, or anything else. They hope everyone needs a psychedelic a day!

One of the great ills of contemporary health care is the systemic minimisation of the damage caused by the over-prescribing of psych-drugs. With 1/4 of the adult population prescribed them annually, we see worsening mental health outcomes, disability & rising iatrogenic harms.
Mikhaila Peterson@MikhailaFuller

We figured out that dad has a psych med induced neurological injury, and has been suffering from akathisia. It’s been 6 years since any psych medications. Last summer his symptoms started, after a flare up likely induced by mold (CIRS) and stress. It was complicated by pneumonia and associated sepsis a month later. It’s been horrible. Neurological injuries from psych meds are far more common than people know. I made this video to explain what they are and what akathisia is because they’re not talked about enough, they’re misdiagnosed, nearly impossible to treat, and hidden by the pharmaceutical industry. I don’t plan on making another update about my dad, it stresses my family out, and myself, and there’s nothing more to say about it until things get better. I will be jumping up and down about psych med injury awareness from now on as it’s impacted my health as well, and is devastating. Prayers are appreciated still.

@DrJohnHhess @tylerblack32 just blindly accept whatever corrupt psychiatry tells them? Many a person understands just how corrupt psychiatry is, regardless of their political leanings.

Ryan here hasn't met a single person who says their SSRI works.
Ryan@reallyoptimized

@tylerblack32 Not sure I've ever met a single person that swears their SSRI works. Not one. I'm sure they exist. But I'm not convinced that they are the appropriate treatment for most people.

@tylerblack32 And you can't believe that? What good is a doctor who doesn't believe what people tell them? And to mock him in this way? You have just shown us how utterly arrogant your profession is.

@AliBeckZeck @MikhailaFuller Trust me she's not embarrassed, she knows she's doing her best with the resources available. Helping people who are the most vulnerable in society (many indigenous Canadians in her case as we are in Manitoba) if you want to paint her as some kind of evil then that's on you.

I commend @MikhailaFuller and the Peterson family for doing what much of society still refuses to do: naming psychiatric drug injury as injury and that her father, Jordan Peterson is suffering from it now. Too often, people go on psychiatric drugs for help, the drugs end up harming them, and when their life starts unraveling, the world pathologizes the aftermath instead of asking what caused it. The injury gets turned into a character flaw and the harmed person gets called crazy. And that is a gut punch when your brain and nervous system are already on fire. Akathisia is not anxiety or drama, and drug induced psychosis and suicidality are not “attention seeking, victimhood or bipolar behavior. They are real effects from iatrogenic damage and these states can be be terrifying, debilitating and life threatening These drugs can cause profound neurological and psychological injury and it is a LONG road to try and fix the damage. And sometimes, it alters the course of a person’s life permanently. And many of us do this alone, with no one naming the harm but instead, pointing the finger back at us. When we turned back to the system that prescribed the drugs, we were met with more diagnoses, ridicule, contempt or outright abandonment. Many of us were also abandoned or rebuked by our own familes while we were just trying to survive. Peace to this family and JP. ❤️

@crispypxls @AliBeckZeck @MikhailaFuller Psychiatrists spend 6 years learning how to be deceitful for their own financial advantage. Randoms on the internet might not be as random as some want to believe them to be.

@AliBeckZeck @MikhailaFuller No but with respect there's a reason psychiatrists go through 6 years of psych residency (after years of med school). It's to learn how meds work and understand the risks and how to inform patients. This idea that randoms on the internet somehow know more than they do is insane.
