I'm a clinical psychologist & I never recommend friends or family member enter into the mental health system. How clinicians are educated, the diagnostic system & Pharma corruption has created a health care system where people get worse who seek treatment. Challenge me.

We are experiencing a pathologized generation. Told distraction & boredom is ADHD, Sadness is Depression, feeling good is mania, worry/fear is an anxiety disorder. Decease stigma means take these drugs. Completely lost site of what it means to be human.

It’s inconceivable to me that a quarter of the UK population is mentally ill. Rather, the language of ‘mental illness’ - depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD - has become a culturally acceptable way to express our dissatisfaction with, and rejection of, the demands of society.

Every notification. Every algorithm. Every fear headline. They're not selling products—they're harvesting your attention, your focus, your very consciousness. You are not broken. You are not sick. You are not the problem. Your ability to think independently, to focus deeply, to

I had such a blast talking with Trish Wood about my book, Unshrunk, and the story it tells of my longggg relationship to psychiatric diagnoses and medications and how (and why) I decided to leave them behind 15 years ago. Thanks for the meaningful conversation, Trish!

My story is not one of “misdiagnosis” or “overmedication.” I sought help from our country’s top psych institutions + “met the criteria” for the various DSM labels I was given. My experience of treatment-induced harm is the byproduct of the MH industry working exactly as intended.

There are countless others who, like me, have been harmed by psych diagnoses and meds— some who realize it, others who don’t (at least, not yet). My personal story is part of a much bigger societal story about the consequences of medicalizing emotional pain and commodifying help.

First new drug in 20 years for PTSD? Not exactly. This isn’t a groundbreaking new treatment. It’s a combination of two existing, heavily marketed drugs Zoloft and Rexulti repackaged and rebranded as innovation. Of course it will be $$$$. This Friday, the U.S. FDA
