Just seen this terrible subtitle & poor reporting from @guardian. Basing a judgement of 'mentally disturbed' on the sanist speculation of a tour bus manager?! We need urgent #media guidelines on the reporting of violence & serious #MentalHealth problems. #stigma #sanism

Dear Mr Sunak, On behalf of pretty much every doctor in the land, pretty much every person on a waiting list in the land, pretty much every sick person in the land, and increasingly most voters in the land...

Dear Mr Sunak, I am writing on behalf of the whole NHS mental health and charity sector services as we are a bit too knackered to do another consultation. Changing PIP would be disastrous and cost lives +++ Even suggesting it has triggered a lot of people today. Thanks, All.

I'm beginning to get really fed up of the focus of our media on attacking the most effective mental health treatments and making them nearly impossible to prescribe, rather than tackling the lack of adequate services to safely use them. Everything is "controversial" to this lot.

Dear @MHRAmedicines @MHRAgovuk & CHM why are specialist neurology & MH pharmacists not good enough to be second signatories when we are the ones writing the policies, doing the audits & advising these professions listed how to comply with the PPP? @davidwebb_1 #valproate

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day. The theme; "Mental health is a universal human right." As I struggle with my mental health again, I recognise my fortune, with ready access to high quality psychiatic services. If only we saw the humanness in all & we enjoy the same. #WMHD2023

Stop calling people *Psychotic* for doing bad things/saying things you disagree with It is a medical term, & anyone who’s been psychotic can tell you how distressing that can be, without people misusing or trivialising or stigmatising that term in everyday parlance
