Psychiatry in the west has been built upon a long history of colonial aggression. If you are part of a minority group, chances are you will end up in a psychiatrists office at some point in your life.
Psychiatry then positions the problem in your brain, rather than the political and material circumstances of your life.
Psychiatry needs to do better.

@f00fc7c8 my grandfather was diagnosable as #schizophrenic and I feel I inherited the karma to follow in his footsteps via nature/nurture but I'm not angry, frustrated, disillusioned ... Therefore, seemingly not "schizophrenic" ... Perhaps, said diagnoses are more a way for an Abrahamic culture to caste its people than it is #science telling you you're not #normal

Living with #adhd and #schizofrenia at times even outside of writing is ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฌ๐ซฅ! So, writing my erotic stories when my mind will work with me is not only a focus and escape but also gives me a creative outlet so...๐คทโโ๏ธ๐๐ป Any other #authors deal with mental disorders?

We need to start talking about the fact that Autistic people are more likely to self-medicate, placing us at an increased risk of addiction.
It doesn't have to be a shameful secret.

Many thanks to Tanya Adkin for laying out her concept of "meerkat mode" in this article.
I think a lot of people will relate to it.

People asked me to talk more about my experiences with psychosis. So I did!
"Autistic people may be less likely to receive support for psychosis"

Autistic people experience psychosis far more often than you would realise.
We have to start talking about it.
I'm Schizophrenic, and I will not be ashamed of that.

Ep. 31 features #nyc #sociologist Robin Rogers who tells of how she escaped her #violent #schizophrenic then-husband. Her #dating goal became all about having life-affirming fun. In early 2020, she was involuntarily committed after a family member falsely claimed she had attempted to commit #suicide. Robin was now surrounded by patients who were hitting on her and threatening to rape her. Come find out how she survived even this experience and what life looks like now! ๐ ๐ฝ๐ #mentalhealth

"The use of the Taser has prompted widespread condemnation and calls for a broader, independent inquiry into police handling of dementia sufferers."
While they're at it, they could do with training on how to deal with knife-wielding schizophrenics rather than just shooting them dead.
A #schizophrenic in psychosis isn't threatening someone with a weapon, they're defending themselves against some delusional horror.

28 years ago a Mazatec curandera told me that i am a curandero bc she saw three angels with me, then a year later a psychiatrist told me that i am #schizophrenic bc i saw an angel though i only had a nervous breakdown due to overworking. That led to a 27 years long forced medication that made me a cripple in every respect!

Ho Ho Ho! Correct itโs time to attack those #winter #weather loving #weeds.
Seriously though, way back when I was a teenager I was thought to be #schizophrenic I didnโt mind as the few #friends I had already thought me odd or #crazy.
Itโs 5:44 here! I #really must get back to #sleep .
Later!

Here's a reminder that #psychosis isn't always fun and neither is being locked up because of it.

Before I was consider #schizophrenic I was diagnosed as clinical depression also known as major depression I often lose interest in daily activities and I will isolate myself from people and stay in my room.
Fun fact. I once had a #Schizophrenic rent my spare room, except he didn't know I was also #schizophrenic.
I thought he was there to watch me, but all he did was invite mormons round and generally ruin his part of the house.
I'm #Autistic, #Schizophrenic, and a recovering drug #addict.
These three together made me the perfect target for criminal exploitation.
I have spoken at length about those three experiences, but I still really struggle to talk about my life when I was being exploited.
I still hold myself responsible for a lot of harm.
If this is your story, I want you to know that *I see you* and *I hold space for you*
