A quick 🧵 on 3 basic facts about psychiatric drugs that you've likely not been told-- facts I wish my parents and I had learned prior to starting a 14-year old me on a long-term regimen that would eventually grow to include #SSRIs, benzos, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics.

I'm completely free of the antidepressant I had been on for years (off and on since the age of 15). It's been a difficult ride and it wouldn't have been possible without medical supervision (I paid someone out of pocket), decent nutrition, and prayer. Even as I was tapered off…

"Veterans are not being told the risk of their medications…Doctors themselves are not aware." Over 100 veterans under the VA's care are committing suicide annually, says veteran @derekblumke. Is overprescription of psychiatric meds contributing to this?

I love the APA and want it to succeed, but I am not sure that this statement is most representative of the sources they cite. To say "There is no overall evidence that SSRIs are unsafe during pregnancy" They cite Clarke et al. 2023's white paper, which indeed says "Recent…
