A very honest view of psychiatry from a psychiatrist
"90% of the people who enter my office are not mentally ill. They are having distressing emotional and psychological experiences. I would estimate 80% of these experiences are due to relational trauma"

Last week, we saw an astonishing study about how “long-term antidepressant use is beneficial.” Here is my riposte in @Telegraph, with the fabulous help of @markhoro and @Peter Gordon. I'm afraid it's behind a paywall, but you can register for a free trial. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitne…

My nervous system is continuously smoldering due to iatrogenic injury. Add even a small amount of stress or stimulation and this acts like an accelerant. Plunging my body and mind into an inferno. I can’t even escape in sleep. Every day is a decent into hell 😞 #prescribedharm

New paper in World Psychiatry again demonstrates that in the long-term (6months and beyond), psychotherapy is superior to antidepressants. Authors suggest that clinical guidelines should be revised, recommending psychotherapy as first-line treatment

Experiences shape brains and physiology. This is neuroplasticity. There is a biology to trauma and a biology to privilege. Not pathology. Adaptation. Hoping psychiatrists pick this up rather than continue to cling to the sinking wreckage of the DSM @psychgeist52

Just pre-recorded my talk for the World Psychiatry conference in October in Colombia on how to safely taper benzodiazepines and antipsychotics. bit.ly/3jyZFV5 Prof Taylor will talk about ADs/mood stabilisers. Prof Cosci about psychology of deprescribing.
Having suffered acute #antidpressant #withdrawal myself, I am now able to articulate the horrific nature of it.
No newborn child can do the same.
Women planning families need to know about this and be able to seek support to safely taper their AD before they become pregnant.
