Anyone else have concerns that this is laying the groundwork for tarrifs on medications when pharma either fights or ignores this executive order? Then costing patients the same or more than before?

#PTSD symptomatology can be found in up to a third of parents with a high-risk infant in the #NICU. Untreated PTSD can have long-term effects for the parent and impact parent-child attachment and development. Routine PTSD screening for parents during and after NICU stay benefits parent + baby.

Permanent name suppression and keeps registration. So they are saying no need to intervene to protect patient interests because a patient wasn't harmed?! Wow.

Again, we cannot ignore the safety and wellbeing implications for practitioners, researchers, educators and other staff impacted by cuts www.bmj.com/content/388/... Noting also the harms to patients, participants and communities www.bmj.com/content/388/... A massive ethics and human rights violation

Welcome to Bluesky! This starter pack is for therapists to share ACT information. There isn't enough information on your account right now to decide to if it would be a good fit. If you add and share more info, please let me know and I will take a look.

Here is an ACT feed that pulls in relevant keywords. It's still small, and I'm experimenting with adding and adjusting keywords. But hopefully it can grow

Dr. Whitney Gilley @whitneygilleymd.medsky.social · 20/02/2025

No worries. You're using it in practice so it sounds like a good fit

📣 Hello ACT therapists and researchers looking for an ACT community on bluesky! If you would like to be added to an acceptance and commitment therapy starter pack, please comment below. We also made a small ACT feed (More on that later) #ACTtherapists #acbs #TherapySky

Hi. Glad to see there is interest! Are you a practicing ACT therapist? The goal for this particular starter pack is therapists and researchers within the modality. For general ACT interests, there is also a feed in development that you would be welcome to follow.

Dr. Whitney Gilley @whitneygilleymd.medsky.social · 19/02/2025

I am very sorry to hear that. I can feel the anger, and it is understandable to feel a medication failed your family. I say this sincerely: just like chemotherapy, meds do not save everyone, but there are others it does. These aren't a placebo for many people. Let them have a chance.

Dr. Whitney Gilley @whitneygilleymd.medsky.social · 19/02/2025

SSRI discontinuation syndrome is something I am very familiar with. None of this is new information. It does not occur with every patient. It is mild when it happens. It is not anything like "severe withdrawal" that can occur with heroin or DTS. None of these articles validate calling it placebo.

110

Dr. Whitney Gilley @whitneygilleymd.medsky.social · 19/02/2025

I'm sorry but you haven't answered my question. What "severe withdrawal" symptoms? Nothing you have shared supports the words you have written. Great claims require evidence. I am very familiar with the research and psychopharmacology was part of my training.

Something I read at age 8 was that Parasaurolophus had its own "trumpet." It instantly became my lifelong favorite.

Dr. Whitney Gilley @whitneygilleymd.medsky.social · 18/02/2025

The article says stopping SSRIs can cause headache, nausea, dizziness or tiredness and "the symptoms are mild and short-lived." Fear deters people from getting help, and does not build trust in therapists either. I hope you might reconsider your post.

Dr. Whitney Gilley @whitneygilleymd.medsky.social · 18/02/2025

I run a therapy focused practice, but also have patients who are alive today because of medication. Curious as to what class of antidepressants you are referring to? What "severe withdrawal" symptoms from antidepressants are used "as evidence it is needed"?

130

Dr. Whitney Gilley @whitneygilleymd.medsky.social · 18/02/2025

@contextpsych.bsky.social I appreciate the helpful ACT articles you share. Would it be ok if I include you in an ACT starter pack? Looking for a few more to get one started.

Dr. Whitney Gilley @whitneygilleymd.medsky.social · 18/02/2025

This is why it concerns me that it is being pushed towards children. They have to still develop and cultivate those skills. If they are not given that chance because cognitive processes are being offloaded to AI, they won't have anything to fall back on.

When I talk to kids today, I encourage them to develop compassion and critical thinking, read books, touch grass. The corporate push for so-called AI is, I believe, about creating dependency via atrophy of critical skills.

Certainly. I just need three more volunteers to meet the minimum. Didn't want to add anyone without their permission. And yes a feed is an excellent idea. I will look into that!
