"A diagnosis is not so different from a myth or a religion: it is a comforting explanatory story." Reader comments are open on my piece on the psychological benefit of a diagnosis, and as usual, they are the best part. https://t.co/tM8c4lETN9

Tomorrow we're publishing a new piece by @tomlamont. Here are a few of our favourite of his pieces from our archive: 1. The invisible city: how a homeless man built a life underground

Is it ethical to give antipsychotic medications to homeless people under bridges, in tents, on sidewalks, in the chaotic conditions where they live? Here is a story about doctors who do it, and the people they are treating. Comments are open. https://t.co/OORufiDuvG

High numbers of autistic children are being referred to the UK's Prevent deradicalisation programme and drawing the attention of counterterrorism police. This @FTMag story is about the changing nature of terrorism & how vulnerable minors may be at risk https://t.co/P1eiPzRiLe

Really interesting piece on people self-identifying with a psychiatric label that has little to do with the actual label in terms of content overlap. Relates to Hacking's 'looping effect' and ideas around 'peri-psychiatry' (Haltigan 2023). https://t.co/L3JvojCemd
