Seems to be more of a common ancestor kind of thing, but fundamentally the ideas and their rationalizations are the exact same, just applied to a different thing. Hence why the 'treatment' is basically the exact same.

Damn. What century is this? Hell, what millennia are these people stuck in?

Bold take but I think there may be something to that germ theory of disease thing, and that isn't a simple "pathogen X can only cause disease-Y-caused-by-pathogen-X", or whatever arbitrary combination of ideas is currently accepted. I wonder if there's a point back in time when this could have...

That's because the standard questionnaires have multiple questions about physical symptoms, which gives false positives on purpose. The problem isn't overlapping answers, it's overlapping questions. And the questions overlap deliberately to conflate many chronic illnesses as mental illness...

Oh plenty of people lied about that. Well, they expressed their opinion about it, and that opinion was incorrect. But mostly on television and in newspapers, which is where most people hear about it. Because of this, it has been the dominant message most people received, even though...

Don't really know what else to search for, but I did a quick search for co-creation and, well: So if the topic is building trust through co-creation, and they haven't done any co-creation... I guess it's all just stuff that sounds good but that's as far as they're willing to take it. It looks...

It's a common trope to bemoan the lack of progress out of biomedicine, aka scientific medicine, in mental health and psychiatry. But really this isn't especially surprising when a field is still in its infancy, and barely has a basic catalogue of what the organ is made of. Psychiatry is barely...

The absolute weirdest part of this is that the ideologues behind this ridiculous concept reject the validity of the patients' illnesses because they are the patients' subjective experience, but in response to this they invent an entire category of subjective illness where they are the subject...

Not much to do with that, unfortunately. It can mostly be summed as: medicine has no idea what fatigue is or how to define it, and that's the state we are still in. They tried comparing 'interoception' ability, defined as being able to match perception of heart beat, with fatigue perception. I...

"Looking back on it... do you think the NHS or public health authorities could have done more in those early months to respond to the developing picture?" "So I think with hindsight the answer to that is absolutely yes, that they were left alone with what is a very frightening condition...

How does that amount to stress? Almost without fail, where 'stress' is used to mean something else than exertion, and the same is true about almost all uses of anxiety, you can perfectly substitute with "I don't like this situation". Which, in my opinion, is a perfectly reasonable take most of...

That he was invited at all as a speaker is problematic in itself, but as keynote? Good grief.

Basically the Swedish strategy in a nutshell: And the number of public health officers and other officials who have said that they'd also follow that strategy in the future says a lot about where public health is heading. Just like in evidence-based medicine, they pursued a race to the bottom...

Booooooring Yeah, you don't say? Maybe stop making stuff up to fuel the wrong side of a battle that doesn't even need to happen and has only caused massive suffering? Also, taking from the Oxford dictionary: Please stop misusing words. Nothing these quacks say or do has anything to do with...

Especially that you can't rehabilitate brain atrophy. At least not without changing the definition of rehabilitation, which I guess is where things have been headed for a while. It's all about marking people as no longer being impaired, so that you can be severely disabled, just not recognized...

They seem to be using stress where either exertion or strain would make more sense. Pretty much 99% of the time when stress is used in a medical setting, it would be better replaced with exertion, and here is no exception. I used strain above in the sense of burden, mostly because I've been...

The stigma will continue until a questionnaire makes it appear as if morale improves, then... more stigma. Ridiculous. They reject the answer and keep making up the same one.

That is just pure nonsense. And obviously false. All this shows is that the so-called experts here have no clue what they are talking about, cannot tell the difference between illness and mental health. Which makes the whole claim to expertise likely a sham. It likely means that almost all...
