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.
