Hi, NHS Consultant Psychiatrist & person living with mental health condition here. Make no mistake, one of the most harmful things for our mental health - if not the most harmful - is poverty. It destroys lives & brings misery to many. – at Lambeth, London

The cultural push of mothers into the work force and the glorification of "working moms" made the role of parenting almost trivial. Parenting and upbringing has the greatest impact on who someone becomes. Supporting parents to understand attachment theory, coping skills, and emotional intelligence is the focus in a healthy society.

People are so brainwashed they believe struggling with mental health they have only two options
1. Psychotherapy
2. Psychiatric drugs
How did the human race evolve without those two options?
Think beyond what they tell you

What about fast tracking “patient waiting times” or “the train debacle with Avanti” or “meeting Union leaders on pay” or “getting the billions back off your mates in the VIP lane” or “sorting the economy for the millions your government have put into poverty”!

Pop-psych 💩 I hate: no one will love you until you learn to love yourself.
Nope. We learn to love ourselves through the love we receive from others, ideally starting with our caregivers. Surround yourself with people who love you while you learn to love yourself 💓

Please don’t abruptly stop your psychiatric medication based on the news the last couple of days. Just because we don’t always know why something works, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. If you do wish to stop, talk it through with a medical professional first.

How can addressing social determinants tackle health inequalities? The @BPSCommPsy recently published a number of really helpful documents to guide practice with the aim to reduce inequalities within mental health.

Political decisions directly influence mental health. So as a mental health professional, I simply cannot, and will not, be quiet or apolitical.

We cannot escape pain in this life. Therefore if you believe sound mental health is the absence of emotional pain you will forever struggle. If anybody attempts to sell you the idea that living well is the absence of distress.... don't buy it. No drug exists to escape this.

Here is an updated version of my drawing of @KimSGolding pyramid of need. This one showing that these elements are not necessarily sequential stages. Some may be needed before others, though some people can engage in therapy without the things underneath...

I visited a medium secure unit yesterday and asked the psychologist there if he does therapy. He showed me this framework by @KimSGolding. I thought it was such a good way of showing the different intervention needs that come before therapy that I decided to draw it...

Therapists, help me out.
What's the ICD code for: Nothing is clinically "wrong", patient is experiencing basic human emotions due to racism, sexism, homophobia, removal of rights, and a pandemic?

We're looking to identify published papers in Psychology which involved patients as genuine drivers of the research… more than just paying lip service to service user involvement, genuine co-creation of a study and its write up. Any pointers?
