But would it be helpful to unpack different types of 'psych' approaches: i) organised mass manipulation of views, often using social media; ii) provision of healthcare and preventive advice by health professionals; iii) awareness that what we think and feel should not be necessarily taken at face value but rather questioned in the light of what the powerful and wealthy might want from the rest of us? ]]> 2021-04-22 12:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1446931107 Stop forced treatment with antipsychotics which will lead to a tsunami of people developing dementia https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1446934534 2021-04-22 12:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1446934534 sarahknowles https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1446948627 In health communication, eed to move away from a deficit approach, assuming communities just don't know what we know, when instead we need to understand their perceptions of mistrust and respect the origins of that mistrust

We are stronger together and can be most effective if we find commonality and hear each other

What kind of model of mental health care could avoid this?]]> 2021-04-22 13:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447025102 It would be helpful if politicians on the Left took a look at how Peter Beresford views the problems regarding politics and psychiatry - especially with regard to the psychiatrisation of the public by right wing governments around the world ! https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447027158 2021-04-22 13:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447027158 Psichiatria Democratica https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447028041 I am thinking that all presentations can be linked to the idea at the core of Psichiatria Democratica, which was a radical psychiatric experience in Italy led by Basaglia in the 1970s. According to this movement, psychiatry should consider society in the understanding and treatment of any indivisual affected by mental illness. This experience valued the person trying to avoid any label. Now, this is quite simplistic, but I believe that learning more about that experience can help to comprehend the present state of the British mental health system.]]> 2021-04-22 13:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447028041 Psychiatry in its present form is treacherous for so many people. It needs a completely new paradigm in order to work with people who suffer with many social aspects in their lives. Hierarchical power is everywhere and we need to change the pattern to more equality, diversity and democracy - bring the people with lived experience into the discussions and research. Their voices are the most important when working with mental health/distressing emotions and suffering. Find out where their pain actually derives from before treatment is given. FIRST DO NO HARM . https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447044210 2021-04-22 13:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447044210 Re issues for LGBTQ+ people, we may be affected even more than average by the shift towards austerity (leaving many of us reliant on others who may not fully accept us), removal of workplace and broader democratic rights and 'othering' promoted by Brexit and government's general appeal to a type of British identity which marginalises some minorities, with ill-effects on mental and physical health and inclusion. So stronger links with others campaigning on such issues (taking account that we belong to overlapping communities) may be helpful in achieving change https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447045840 2021-04-22 13:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447045840 https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447156821 2021-04-22 13:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447156821 Agree with the statement above the researchers need to move away from the deficit model, and start treating all people with respect, not matter what label they've got. Diagnostic labels can be helpful, but they don't make diagnosed people less worthy than others without a diagnosis. https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447778540 2021-04-22 15:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1447778540 https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1448684017 2021-04-22 18:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/92h355xwwf1ajr4j/wish/1448684017
