Om Prakash, MD X Grok There’s strong evidence that the lack of psychiatrists on social media has made it easier for mental health misinformation to spread unchecked, since fewer licensed experts are present to correct myths or provide science-based info. This gap can lead to more self-diagnosis,

Om Prakash, MD X Ask Perplexity Yes, the scarcity of psychiatrists on X likely exacerbates mental health misinformation, as fewer experts counter myths, leading to self-diagnosis and stigma. Studies (e.g., Guardian, ScienceDirect) show over 50% of top TikTok mental health tips are misleading. More engagement

As a psychiatrist, I don’t believe we’ve lost the idea that pain can lead to growth. But over time, the system has leaned too heavily on diagnosis and medication. The brain model has helped reduce stigma, but it shouldn't replace the person’s story. Good care still means

Om Prakash, MD Grok Several recent studies highlight how the limited presence of psychiatrists on social media contributes to unchecked mental health misinformation. A 2025 study analyzing 1,000 mental health videos from 16 countries found that disinformation about psychiatric conditions and

A good doctor doesn’t rush to write a prescription. They listen, think, and give you only what you truly need. Sometimes, less is more. 🩺💊 #GoodMedicine #TrustYourDoctor

As a psychiatrist, I believe mental health care should never make people feel punished, unheard, or unsafe. Seeking help should come with dignity, not fear. We need to be honest about risks, open to disagreement, and always treat people as human first, not just patients.

As a psychiatrist, I understand the concerns, and accountability matters. But I’ve seen psychiatric medications help people in real, meaningful ways—sometimes they make the difference between surviving and not. The system has flaws, no doubt. But dismissing medication completely

As a psychiatrist, I’ve seen people rebuild their lives with their creativity and drive intact, once they got the right help. Psychiatry isn’t here to take away who you are. It’s meant to help you hold on to yourself when things get too heavy.

Expose big pharma No, Kraepelin didn’t invent a thermometer. But not everything that’s real shows up on a machine. Just because pain is invisible doesn’t make it imaginary. Psychiatry’s job has always been to make sense of what hurts but can’t be held.

Harsh Goenka Beautifully said. As a psychiatrist, I’d just add: good mental health isn’t a fixed state, it’s something you move through. Some days it’s about purpose and progress, other days it’s just about getting out of bed. Both matter. What counts is showing up for yourself, wherever you

That’s an extreme and harmful claim. As a psychiatrist, I’ve seen people in deep despair: psychosis, suicidal states, severe trauma, find their way back to life with the right care and support. Psychiatry isn’t perfect, but it’s not about control or harm. It’s about helping

This kind of CCHR United Kingdom message does real damage. It paints an entire field of Psychiatry with one brush and ignores the reality that many older adults are helped, not harmed, by good psychiatric care. Yes, medications need to be used carefully in the elderly. And yes, there have
