The American Psychiatric Association’s (2025) annual conference, or should we say Pharma Expo 2025? One glance at the conference map & you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a sales convention, not a 'medical' gathering 👇

Call me cynical, but isn't Mental Health Awareness Week a hollow festival of shallow & performative activism, that companies leverage to stage 'progressiveness' & everyone else expolits to sell their individualistic ideas & wares; where social determinants remain buried & nothing gets better.

“...research has shown … some patients confuse relapse with discontinuation symptoms, and that patients may not have full confidence in their GP’s ability to discuss antidepressant discontinuation owing to a perceived lack of knowledge and time…” #biorisks drug withdrawal misdiagnosed as ‘relapse'

“The ‘patient voice’: patients who experience antidepressant withdrawal symptoms are often dismissed, or misdiagnosed with relapse, or a new medical condition” A neglectful medical practice and a common cause of the revolving door that increases needless drug dependency, ill-health #biorisks

#biorisks re anti-depressant drug dependency and withdrawal effects, often misdiagnosed as ‘relapse’, misleads patients that they need the drug when its coming off the drug too quickly causing toxicity effects on the whole nervous system and metabolic biological systems where serotonin is used

I am looking forward to speaking to Imperial College medical students tomorrow. It will be interesting to hear what they are taught about the biological view of depression and mental disorders these days, and whether they are informed about the paucity of supportive evidence.

This certainly needs to happen. The public are still dazzled by the apparent superior knowledge and expertise within the medical approach to #mentalhealth. This certainly needs to change.

This is so true. As the "chemical imbalance" nonsense is belatedly drawing its last breath, many of the powers that be have decided that inflammation is their next new obsession. They hope that this will give them another 30 years of mental health dominance, as the "chemical imbalance" hoax did.
