Perhaps the most influential study in psychiatry's history was the STAR*D trial. It misled an entire generation into believing antidepressants are more effective than they are. This story of the scientific misconduct still remains mostly untold - why?👇

Everyone remember Brian - who felt he was aggrieved because people on his flight to Florida were in wheelchairs yet able to board plane without assistance?
Brian felt it appropriate to photograph them & complain to the airline.
What’s worse, the airline pandered to him. /1 🧵
ALT Post from Brian Hudson @BocaHudson Follow Typical @SouthwestAir flight to Florida! I counted 30 pre-boards needing wheelchair assistance. When we get off the plane 28 of them walk off! @FAANews @FlyTPA @FoxNews @cnnbrk @MarkWilsonTV There’s a photo of a number of people in wheelchairs outside an airport gate.
ALT Same photo of people at airport gate with a reply from Southwest Airlines which reads Southwest Airlines @Southwest... •5d We're sorry for any disappointment, Brian. We appreciate your feedback and hope to create more pleasant memories with you next time. - Racquel Q51. 175 022
ALT Two additional Twitter posts. Mr. Jefferson @CLK1341104• 4d Ok, what are you gonna do so this doesn't keep happening??? Southwest responds with Since many disabilities aren't visible, we're unable to question the validity of preboarding requests. We appreciate you reaching out and hope to share the skies with you again soon. (2/2) - Patricia

There is still much unknown about cPTSD because it’s the result of things people were never meant to endure.

Instead of that psych drug, perhaps what you really needed was time off work, a person to care & listen, a quiet place to retreat, reflect, reassess & repair. Perhaps you needed us to treat you as worthy of a kinder world; of a social & human rather than a chemical response.

"What if antidepressants, by blunting our negative emotions, sometimes prevent us from getting better? What if they prolong our suffering by preventing us from listening to what depression is trying to say"? - Great post by my friend, Justin Garson👇

1 in 4 women screens positive for a 'personality disorder' in young adulthood, yet this rate halves in later years. Attributing these profound difficulties to 'personality'—a supposedly lifelong trait—not only contradicts the data but reflects a misogynistic framing. #TraumaNotPD

Being 'trauma-informed' doesn't mean 'rejecting any other possible frame' & 'reducing all distress to trauma' (as is often suggested), it means being mindful that distress is often rooted in harmful experiences that require acknowledgement & therapeutic working through. That's it

To those saying comments like "oh good more money for those who contribute nothing" - check ur facts!
40% of UC claimants are the working poor others are carers, have disabilities or illness, & some who don't have work, want it. A little more compassion & less judgement wouldn't hurt.
Just spotted.... this is a good change for benefits recipients, deductions can be soul-destroying. #budget
"Caps deductions made through Universal Credit at 15% of the standard allowance. Before this Budget, it was 25%... approximately 1.2 million households will keep more of their Universal Credit payment each month, with households expected to be better off by an average of over £420 a year"

Just a reminder re benefits and the budget:
1. NOTHING HAS CHANGED with your benefits
2. The only thing that will change soon = a 1.7% rise
3. Big things like the snooping law + WCA changes have to get through parliament, the lords and judicial reviews
4. Worse case = early '26

Complete my survey about developing a podcast around self-harm: lnkd.in/dAwvfJp3
Running self-harm support services I felt there were so many unrepresented experiences. I'd like to explore these in a podcast & would love your views! #selfharm #NSSI #intersectionality

Fourteen minutes into the #budget, Reeves was talking about new laws to snoop into claimants’ bank accounts, a crackdown on welfare fraud to save £4.3bn, and ‘measures’ to get people back to work.
