Yep, I’ve had this too. “How’s your mental state?” “Oh, I’m 40, overweight and Caucasian.”

What are the assumptions underlying the statement that a patient is "smartly dressed and well-kempt"? What's the evidence these assumptions are correct? What's an acceptable way for a patient to look in order to get good, timely, effective #mentalhealth care, treatment & support?

@dear_gp is a hilariously (and heartbreakingly) accurate reflection of #NHS mental health services. V refreshing. Strongly recommended reading to anyone who has been through #CAMHS or #CMHTs, or who works in #MentalHealth. The latest issue is here: deargphome.files.wordpress.c… #DearGP

This in a clinic letter from my Consultant Psychistrist:
“This lady has some background knowledge of psychiatry which she may use to her advantage”
I am a clinical nurse specialist in adult psychiatry who also happens to have depression.
“Background knowledge” my ass 🤬🤬🤬

In addition to the ever-lovely "convincingly denied suicidal or homicidal thoughts", this one really stuck out to me. Why is this in quotes??? Nothing else from the conversation is - is this them suspecting me of being delusional about whether I have a wife?
ALT Excerpt from a letter that says: Patient says she is "married to a British person". She says Dealing with the visa process. She says she is planning
As well as satirical letters, we are also looking for people to share REAL extracts from their clinic letters/notes. This can be as simple as one sentence. What has been written about you in a clinic letter that’s jarred? How did it make you feel?

Never use “denied” in writing letters about patients. Sounds judgemental. Have a look at our guidance: rcpsych.ac.uk/members/suppor…

I met with TS today for a routine outpatient appointment via telephone. As I have never seen TS, I am unable to make glib comments about his appearance, although I assume he is a middle-aged, caucasian male who was reasonably well-kempt at the time of our appointment. 1/

I'm having a real @dear_gp moment with a copy of a letter I've just been given that a consultant psychiatrist sent to my GP.
Were we even at the same meeting?
And why was the 5 point action plan never communicated to me?
Dear GP retweeted
Imagine if they paid this much attention to what we were actually saying instead of what we look like 🙃

We may be biased but...
This is well worth it

For the next run of zines we will be raising money for the activist collective @RITB_

@dear_gp zine: Highly recommended for all professionals in social care and health services. Brilliantly and humorously pricking the pomposity of those who other and look down on those they are meant to be for. We don't know better, so let's stop acting like we do.

How has the 'recovery approach', as implemented in services gone astray? in what ways do you feel the way the recovery approach is used in services can be harmful to service users?
