Don't take mental health (or any other kind of) advice from Steve Loftus. #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a tweet from user 'Steve Loftus' containing a clip of a woman speaking on tv.  The text reads "I find it truly astounding that this woman thinks it perfectly normal and acceptable to be claiming benefits for mild anxiety while TALKING ON LIVE TV.

Nobody should get benefits for anxiety, especially those that can travel to a studio, sit in an audience and talk on TV."

You are out with your friends and you offer your seat on the train to your crush so she does not have to stand.

If your therapist describes "a reasonable and proportional response to objective reality" as mental illness then you have a bad therapist - or there's a slim possibility that your response has not been reasonable and proportional. Or you don't understand what 'objective' means. #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a Tweet which reads: - "Therapists will be like “Yeah I know how to treat mental illness” and then only know how to treat irrational thinking, having no idea how to help people whose mental illness is actually a reasonable and proportional response to objective reality"

Siri, show me an example of someone who really, really needs psychological help. #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a Tweet which reads: - "The vast majority of modern psychology as a whole field is a pseudo-science and demonic in nature, being completely reductionistic and denying the transcendent aspect of one's identity, which is itself pure and eternal. The irony is that only by living with the vision of that true and pure aspect of ourselves, which is in reality our true self (the soul), can we go beyond fear, worries, anger, mental illness, depression, and become fully stable, virtuous, peaceful and happy. 

Being completely materialistic and ridden with vices, those who have laid the frameworks of this field, and the majority who study it are completely clueless what is true meaning, what is true virtue, what is evil and to be avoided. No matter how much mind numbing medicines they prescribe, they never actually cure a person. Sincere faith in the Supreme Person, however, will unfailingly make the person fearless and pure."

Unintelligible word salad! Hippopotamus oath - loving it! #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a Tweet which reads: - "I'd say psychologists are merely State approved quacks too. Furthermore, most doctors, whom used to abide by the hippopotamus oath, and were half of the equation of the doctor patient relationship, have abandoned this post whilst forming part of a regime that is top down.

Laws and regulations have such an impact, there is no contract remaining between doctor and patient where the care is government approved, mandated and penalized when it falls outside of this scope. It's one of the central attack points that has underpinned the authoritarian take over of health and society more broadly."
