  3. Psychiatry’s playbook is about to get torn up | Science Quickly Podcast


    I have been saying for over a decade now that this "mental disorders" business is indeed a lot of business and not much science. You cannot categorize people like that and put them into boxes like ADHD, Depression, Bipolar, etc.. People's mental states are far more complex.

    But it works well to have these labels in our trade-based society where everything needs to be in boxes, so that insurance companies, drug companies, or companies who employ people can "understand" that Jen is depressed, will prescribe her some pills through an insurance company, and Jen can get some paid leave.

    Yet in the process no one understood what made Jen feel that way or how to fix her problems. Maybe she has little money, little time, maybe she is stress that her rent increased or her brain is a mush because her phone is consuming her life with ads and data collection. Trades trades trades.

    Now Jen can anesthetize herself with some prescribed medicine, and can get back to her life soon.

    So WOW now finally the people in charge of the bible of mental disorders, DSM, are starting to see through their thin diagnosis practice and say perhaps things need to change since you cannot do any medical test to see if someone has ADHD, or is depressed or whatever...

    How about (I know wild idea) when people have problems we try to understand what causes these problems and try to help them!? Housing, access to free healthcare, access to a fucking life that is not about being a worker!

    I wrote a book all about this tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo… and a smaller one too tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

    And had a great chat with a psychologist and psychiatrist -


    Help the fucking people and stop pretending that we can fit in these narrow boxes.

    "What is it to have a mental disorder? This book contends that an individual has a mental disorder if and only if (1) they are・in the relevant sense・unable to respond adequately to their available (apparent) reasons in their thinking, feeling, or acting, and (2) they are harmed by the condition underlying or resulting from that inability."

  9. The Sickness-Society: either you are well and functional — or sick and dysfunctional - madintheuk.com/2025/03/the-sic…

    Psychology is like recycling, you think it is working, but it is not. Never addresses the core problem. So easy to put people into categories and call them "sick". Works well for a livestock society. Best excuse to never touch the system in both cases. Continue recycling...continue labeling people as mentally ill. And let the system survive....

    Truth is the opposite. It is this trade-based society that makes people mentally sick, and if we want to change that we have to change the society, not adjust the people to it.

    Very good and on point article!

    "An examination into the influence of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of #MentalDisorders, the US diagnostic bible for mental disorders".
    "Advocates of #DSM say labels help people take ownership of their situation, provide them with answers, treatments and social support. Critics think it creates stigma, medicalises normality and leads to a glut of unnecessary and harmful drug prescriptions."

  21. Excited to attend my first American Psychopathological Association (APPA) Annual Meeting in NYC! Yesterday was an excellent opportunity to learn and connect with peers, and I'm looking forward to discussing future directions to understand the complexity of psychiatric disorders!

  22. I'm back from my one-month vacation in Brazil. Happy to see so many new faces here! Welcome everyone! I hope we can create meaningful connections!

    My major interests usually involve #psychiatry, #mentalhealth, #clinicaltrials, and #neuroscience. More specifically #ketamine, #brainstimulation, and #psychedelic #medicine for the treatment of #mentaldisorders

  23. #introduction

    Hello,

    I newly migrated from #MedTwitter to #MedMastodon!

    My name is Igor, and I'm a physician-scientist and aspiring #psychiatrist from Salvador-Brazil 🇧🇷. During my #MD & #PhD at the Federal University of Bahia, I was mainly involved with #brainstimulation and #ketamine to treat #mentaldisorders. Part of my medical degree took place at The University of Sydney (Australia), where I lived for 15 months between 2016-2017 through the Science Without Borders scholarship program 🦘🇦🇺.
