The language we use about mental health matters. It’s important not to stigmatise people when they’re reaching out for help. It adds barriers for other people who might be hesitant to open up.

I'm quite a private person on Twitter, but I wrote a piece for today's @guardian about my struggles with mental health, being sectioned in my 20s and finally getting a diagnosis of Bipolar 1.
Let's talk about these things without shame.

Hearing voices is one of the most common psychosis symptoms.
For Nicola, who has schizophrenia, AVATAR therapy has helped. And as part of the @AvatarLdn research team that’s trialing the approach, she shares her hope for future research.

"The identified studies did directly compare the mental health outcomes associated with payments provided unconditionally with those offered on a conditional basis and their results are striking. From a reduction in reported feelings of stress and better cognitive functioning, to overall improvements in well-being and a reduction in reported symptoms of psychiatric disorder, studies have consistently reported clear and significant improvements in mental health when the conditionality associated with traditional welfare was removed or replaced."

Too many lives are lost to #suicide in bipolar
Research estimates that, globally, as many as 15-20% of people with #bipolar take their own life
On #WorldBipolarDay2023 let's call for improved education, diagnosis, treatment & high-quality research
Too many lives are lost..
Here's another aspect of the censureship debacle that hasn't been reported by the BBC. Shame on you BBC, you are eroding the trust of the nation so fast. Where will this all end? theguardian.com/media/2023/m…
