Warts and all
Mental health providers love hearing positive stories about how someone has struggled with their mental health, recovered, and will for ever be thankful for the wonderful help they received from caring staff. Some meetings start with a story others end with one. This is supposed to be ‘motivational’ for the staff, and good public relations too. What I learned over my career as an NHS psychiatrist, with my own lived experience of mental illness – recurrent depression – is that there are some things that staff and dignitaries attending such meetings do not want to hear about.

64 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd #history 🗃️

When I met Marsha Linehan inspirational creator of DBT. Her therapy helped me I was self taught, but it’s not for everyone and it’s not the person’s fault if it doesn’t, it’s the therapy. Other therapies are available ☺️

a huge system that can go wrong or be brilliant but there’s been one suicide as a direct result of AI giving wrong information. Wherever the NHS goes with AI it needs to put the person at the forefront and not the system. Not just saying that, which they do, but acting on it.

A huge power imbalance like they’re doing you a favour. Those who are chosen to be helped and those not. The system is made up of many peoples ideas over time and it changes. Building on knowledge and sometimes or often getting it wrong . It reminded me of AI, it’s all people’s thoughts creating

I was thinking about the past having a rupture(falling out) with my therapist the term used in therapy. I think it was more a rupture with the system of the NHS not the person. Measures that capture a snippet in time and given no time to fill them in, which give you labels. Enforced boundaries

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

We need to keep suicide prevention in mind all year round. We know it’s so important and for those who have died by suicide and those bereaved it’s so bloody sad and we can all help. Seeing Papyrus closing its doors is a disaster as young people need our support more than ever. #Suicide prevention

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.
