[It can be very dangerous to come off #psychiatric #medications. It must be done slowly & while under physician supervision. In addition to the likelihood of symptoms returning, coming off an #SSRI can cause severe physical #withdrawal, some of which may never dissipate making it impossible for the patient to ever totally stop the medication. #SerotoninWithdrawalSyndrome can be debilitating; symptoms include severe dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, & frequent vomiting.]

"'The most striking finding was the sheer breadth & severity of the impact from #airpollution exposure. We found that #air #pollutants were significantly associated with the accelerated onset of different chronic #diseases, spanning almost every major organ system. We were particularly surprised by the high sensitivity of #neurological & #psychiatric disorders.'"

"Correlation does not equal #causation. A large body of #psychiatric #research warns against assuming that because 2 things occur together, 1 must cause the other. Mystical experiences may simply be 1 visible marker of other processes, such as increased emotional openness, the development of new neural connections or changes in entrenched beliefs."

Death of a patient with mental illness at Shattuck Hospital raises allegations of ‘neglect’
by Jenifer B. McKim, May 08, 2023, Updated August 07, 2023
"A 60-year-old Black man committed to #LemuelShattuck Hospital’s #psychiatric ward died a 'painful, untimely death' due in part to the state’s failure to provide adequate health care, according to a report released Monday.
"#HaywoodEarl, residing at the public hospital in Jamaica Plain, likely would have survived his bout with skin cancer if he’d received a timely diagnosis and appropriate medical treatment, the nonprofit Disability Law Center concluded in a 28-page report."
[...]
"Earl’s case is coming to light nearly two months after an investigation by the #GBH News Center for Investigative Reporting revealed a history of problems at the hospital, documented by patients, prisoners and former employees."

If you come to me with a #story about #psychiatric #abuse, your final point better not be something along the lines of "and this was so wrong and unnecessary because I don't ACTUALLY have schizophrenia* (*or any other heavily #stigmatized #diagnosis or symptom)" Kill the #cop in your head that tells you that there are a distinct group of mentally ill people who really need forced treatment and actually do benefit from it

And I don't know if it's my trauma making me a killjoy, but I really really don't think "#someone should force #psychiatric treatment on you" is a funny clapback at all ever

#RFK Jr. blames pills—not guns—for #schoolshootings
#Kennedy is now using his post as the highest-ranking #US health official to spread the claim that #psychiatric drugs are a key cause of mass shootings at the nation’s schools and beyond. The idea, essentially, is that #antidepressants and other meds may inadvertently turn people into killers. There is no scientific evidence to support that theory—and extensive research indicates it is untrue.

#Facts about #involuntary #psychiatric hold:
The #UnitedNations recognises it as a form of #torture.
It increases #suicide risk by 191 times.
It increases the risk of #dying from heart #disease and stroke by 3.5 times (no shit on that one, forcing extremely high doses of heavy drugs on someone without even titrating it does that)
45% of patients in psych wards have experienced sexual #violence during an admission.
You are a shitty #person if you try to get someone involuntarily committed.

All #systems are #disordered under fucking #psychiatric normativity. You guys need to realize that.

Some #people will really talk about #prison #abolition or #destroying all cages and then turn around and start praising the #psychiatric #system as a solution.

Nobody, including #people you dislike, should be #institutionalized. There is no excuse for anyone to face #psychiatric #abuse!

if you're against #incarceration then you have to be against #psychiatric incarceration. you cannot pick and choose who "deserves" to be #incarcerated.

Whose Cognitive Decline Is It? by Mary Trump
#Trump has always been easily swayed by whomever or whatever is in front of him
Lately his decline has become even more obvious. whether its due to some kind of #neurological condition or worsening of his long #undiagnosed, #untreated #psychiatric #disorders or both
Sometimes it isn’t clear if he’s oriented to space, time & people. It's particularly evidenced during recent press conferences, interviews.

Officers spoke w/him & asked to search his backpack. He agreed & they found a police #baton, which they said violated state #law because the man did not have a #concealed_weapons #permit.
The #Wisconsin Capitol Police took the man into protective custody for a #psychiatric evaluation shortly before midnight based on “concerning statements” the man made.
