Grateful to @OliviaBowden__ and the @TorontoStar for covering our new paper in @CMAJ_Open today. Students in mental health crisis are deserving of hope and help, and that includes flexible, dignified, and humane transfer policies. (1/6)

Psychiatry: poverty, child maltx, benzos, shame, lack of appreciation for complexity and for the human spirit

There are understandable reasons why psychiatry is scrutinized way more than other medical specialties: it, eg, exercises social control over the lives of individuals under its care to a degree exercised by no other specialty; it is subject to more value disagreements... (/1)

Agree totally. Complicating a biological story with social and structural dimensions isn’t denying the biological - it’s recognizing the complexity of how mental disability materializes

I also found it to be inciting a false moral panic. The idea that there is a large number of “woke” psychiatrists who deny the biological dimension of psychiatric conditions is just incorrect. I don’t know of any in the “real” world, outside of a handful of extreme voices online.

It's infuriating to see the head of psychiatry at St. Michael's @UnityHealthTO publicly belittle his younger, often female, often racialized colleagues for providing care that rightly addresses the social determinants of mental health.

For all the doctors saying "I don't care about pronouns," or "it's too hard to remember," here are the facts: "...for transgender youth, using their chosen name in school, work, home, and with friends... decreased suicide attempts by 65%." So, you better fucking care.

Some people can’t see racism in health care. A Cree teen male went to the ER bc he was unwell. He sat, became delirious & security was called as they felt he was intoxicated. No vital signs were taken. He died 4ish hours later due to septicemia. I reported this. Nothing happened.
