Let's be very clear. We have no evidence that teenagers have ever benefited from SSRI drugs. We only have evidence of systemic fraud, increased suicidality and the potential for permanent health effects- including permanent sexual dysfunction. The dark ages are over.
Yes, teenagers with clear/classic/severe psych disorders do desperately need meds- but not 2,000,000/not 20% college students. Most teens on meds have distress/not disorder & do better with psychotherapy or watchful waiting. Meds useful for the few can be harmful for the many.

Neutrality in psychotherapy is: 1️⃣Utmost respect for our patient’s autonomy & right to self-determination 2️⃣Recognizing we are of many minds & working in a way that makes it possible to hear from all of them That it. That’s really it. What other nonsense did someone tell you?

“When the other person will not meet us, when every attempt to be understood is met with contempt, and every expression of goodwill is reinterpreted as hostility, we are in an abusive relationship.” —Sue Parker Hall

Our sense of self develops in relationship. What get broken in relationship must be repaired in relationship. You can get what you can get from reading, study, reflection. I highly recommend it. But it is in no way a substitute for a meaningful psychotherapy relationship.
@JonathanShedler so, a human who reads psychology books and starts doing the work on his own & grows & becomes more "whole" is not doing psychotherapy? u may say: but is doing it in relationship to other humans! ok. but, the work is done based on the info from books & his reflective abilities!

There two truths. One is that relationships grow through rupture and repair (I literally just posted about it on Substack). Another is that some bells can’t be unrung. https://t.co/evUx3hCdCv
Hilarious to read the comments on this. Folks, guess what: people fight. Sometimes they turn into ugly versions of themselves. Occasionally they feel threatened and say nasty things. Anyone who thinks this should be relationship-ending hasn't known many longterm relationships

Conventional wisdom is that child-rearing is stressful, all-consuming, and emotionally taxing. That’s nonsense, write Camilo Ortiz and Julia Martin Burch for The Free Press.

As always, thoughtful reflection.
I’m coming around to the view that the central challenge of what we might call the “psychology project” is carving out a discipline of psychology and psychotherapy that is distinct from what we might call “morality projects.” It is only recently in human history that we have

Spicy subject 🌶️ but identity stability is a function of the ego. Staying cool when identity is challenged demonstrates a strong and healthy ego. If you get tilted convincing someone how to perceive you, that can demonstrate a fragile or underdeveloped ego.

I really love this clip. The happiness of men and women comes from working together, loving each other, and not seeing the opposite sex as the enemy. https://t.co/JOzRlh4g22

European regulators found Prozac causes IRREVERSIBLE TESTICULAR TOXICITY in children. Their verdict: DO NOT prescribe to kids. Eli Lilly's response: "Parents won't enroll their children in studies if we tell them" Still prescribed to 8-year-olds. Link in comments

The mental health industry has declared war on teenage girls. They're being diagnosed & drugged for experiencing puberty. For feeling deeply. For having the emotional intelligence that makes women exceptional. Every articulate description of pain becomes diagnostic criteria.

This is really interesting. ... And concerning !
Demonstrating perfectly why the gender wage gap is one of the prime targets of Feminism (also known as Manipulative Reproductive Suppression).

This is how a genuine expert discusses narcissism. If you listen, you might notice that real expertise sounds nothing like the therapy-slop you hear from online influencers. The entire podcast episode is filled with rich information.

Avoid therapists whose websites/listings use therapy-speak buzzwords Safe space, holding space, healing journey, holistic, energetic, parts work, shadow work, gratitude, narcissistic abuse, toxic, inner child, trauma-informed, self-love, self-care🚩 What are your🚩buzzwords?
Searched for a therapist referral today for a friend in a Facebook group. After narrowing down for treatment types, diagnostic specialties, and affordability, I had a short list of 10 or so options in their state that were taking new patients. 3 of them had profiles/websites

🚨Most Americans think depression is linked to a “chemical imbalance” in the brain, and that drugs can fix this imbalance—like a type one diabetic takes insulin. But that’s not true at all, says @DrJosefWD. Exhaustive research has found zero evidence of a chemical imbalance. In
