Rightwing operatives have registered fake progressive parties to steal votes and funnel preferences to One Nation in Victoria. But there’s a fix already on the table – and Victorians have a chance to get it passed before November. Add your name ✍️ getup.to/12yk8f3CMPEt9

This cartoon captures the denial & downplaying of antidepressant withdrawal by leading figures in British psychiatry (in their own words....). This is what patients have been up against....

Really important study showing that reducing psychiatric drug use in people with dementia reduced psychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations, apathy, depression and reduced falls. I hope the people on this platform advocating for increased use of psychotropics in this population despite evidence read it carefully. Link below.

Agree, and this is why rising rates of antidepressant use among young women is so worrying. Many will have been on antidepressants for 10 years or more when they get pregnant and getting off them after this amount of time is frequently difficult

Sigh. Another day, another meta-analysis which claims that continuing drugs is better than stopping them when they are stopped in 2 weeks or less. The absolute state of this field.

@Paxhurts @Barbara45426641

@ProfRobHoward The review admits the longest taper was just two weeks, with many stopped abruptly. Symptoms emerging after such short tapers are far more likely to reflect withdrawal, not relapse—making conclusions about “no effect of withdrawal speed” fundamentally weak.

I've spent years exposing what SSRIs actually do. Now I'm exposing the larger system. Psychiatry is one tentacle. Mind control is the body. New series begins now.
