I see posts about lived experience with psychological troubles. I am sympathetic to the cause. I detest stigmatizing of psych troubles & treatment. They are all around you, though often well concealed. I have been open about my own hx, but the idea that I need to identify... 1/x

Thank you Frances Haugen for your frank and eloquent description of the systemic nature of the risks Facebook and social media as a whole presents to our societies. Truly frightening and something we need to address now! x.com/i/events/14525…

To be clear, I am neither pro nor anti psychiatric drugs. Clearly they can have important uses for some people and at certain times. I am, however, pro-informed consent as an unalienable right, and anti inappropriate and/or misleading explanations & omission of potential harm.

Four years ago Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed in Malta. A public inquiry found the Maltese State bore responsibility for her murder. As we continue to stand with her family in their fight for justice and truth, we ask Europe to act in order to ensure protection for journalists

Clinical psychology should be decolonising therapy, not adapting therapies created by ‘white’ people for ‘white’ people to be ‘culturally sensitive’ and ‘culturally responsive’ (and othering people from racialised communities in the process)

@ClinPsy @cygnethealth I just don’t understand how allowing for profit companies to provide care and treatment services is acceptable - the conflict of interest so often leads to the monetisation of quality of life and quality of care that rarely benefits service users😢
