This is so sinister. Wes Streeting has accepted £280m from a pharma company to trial an injectable weight-loss drug on the unemployed. This is like something out of a dystopian sci-fi novel. What next??
Targeting people who are in an already vulnerable state & environment is not the answer to increasing economic productivity & growth. Addressing deep rooted inequalities & injustices that drive distress & mental ill-health is. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Also for folks on Lithium, keep an eye out for signs. Would be keen to hear how others manage the heat, ViDrate sachets kept me steady last year

'I have lost count of how many times I have told someone something about my mental health, only for them to turn to the ‘experts’ to confirm what I have said, as if I am an unreliable narrator of my own mind'. Super piece from the fab @itsmyamygdala tinyurl.com/2ja4293m
Anyone who is serious about reducing crime would offer a real alternative to austerity, poverty & alienation. That means giving young people opportunities and building economic security. And it means investing in our communities to create a fairer, safer society for all.
