I've been practicing psychiatry for 38 years. I love my job, my peers, and my patients. But I've come to the conclusion that I'm participating in the biggest intellectual scam of this era. We claim to be a science, but have no understanding how thought or behavior is generated./1

From 1979 onwards I did not encounter one psychiatrist or one GP in my decades of drugging who did not believe I had a disordered brain. Why would they suggest drug consumption if I did not have a disordered brain? The prescribers/drugs ruined my life.

Every one of us carries a history of experiences, interactions, thoughts, emotions, hopes, dreams, successes, and failures. All contribute to our psyche. Given its current practice, the etymology of the word “psychiatry” stands out as one of the greatest ironies of modern life.

Apologies for my inactivity here, but I'm no good at multitasking--and my focus nowadays is on finishing my damn book!!! I'm closing in on completion. My current (and maybe last) title is: MINDLESS AND THOUGHTLESS Psychiatry's Record of Failure, and a Scientific Case for Wisdom

Maybe telling traumatised and abused people to go to their GP who has little training in abuse and less than 5 minutes per patient isn’t the smartest idea we’ve ever had. I’ve never understood that. They run a traumatic and distressing story on a soap or a news item and then

If you want to escape your family history of chronic diseases, you have to eat differently than your family did. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, etc. are largely dietary diseases, not genetic. You’re not destined to be sick. You eat yourself to sickness.

Now that my #mentalhealth is stable & I’m almost 8 years off of all psychiatric drugs which I was on for almost 25 years & had psychosis, multiple suicide attempts & mania from, I love to observe the response from “experts” like Tyler Black & Jonathan Stea (who have both blocked

For 'medicine' that is allegedly 'life-saving', there's something that doesn't quite tally here. Any idea what it could be? Answers on a postcard to: It's just a coincidence C/O louis appleby Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Manchester Director of the National
