How about substantively improving access to psychiatric and psychological care in the United States?.

The advice given by the terminally incorrect Shrier is awful, and ableist. Turns out, most depressed people actually try many things including "doing stuff".

Abigail Shrier is completely incorrect about the "number one symptom" of depression. As @JonathanShedler correctly points out, it doesn't even make the list when we diagnose it. Unsurprisingly, "sadness" and "adhedonia (lack of pleasure)" are number one.
Abigail Shrier: "The number one symptom of depression is rumination, pathologically obsessing over your pain. Getting out of your house and accomplishing anything is good for you, sitting around, talking and thinking about your problems is a bad habit.".

I call on all physicians, nurses, and medical organizations to stand firm with @BCnursemidwife in their just cause.

I believe Amy will be fine, writing columns and giving talks and could likely easily raise money from right-wing hate like so many in her situation so. I do NOT believe trans kids will be OK if we don't push back on the chilling effects of transphobia and discrimination. /8.

I continue to applaud the @BCnursemidwife for their courageous stand against discrimination and transphobia, and am as happy with this outcome as anti-trans people appear to be in the UK where their courts squashed the rights of trans people. /7.

She will likely make oodles of money and fame and darling status in right wing media for her "cancellation", while simultaneously cancelling the rights, freedoms, and respect that trans people deserve. /6.

While she has every right to appeal and is appealing, I believe she will lose any appeal just like Jordan Peterson. Regulated bodies are permitted to regulate the speech of their registrants. It is not "curtailing free speech", it is protecting patients from discrimination. /5.

Defenders of the Amy's rights to express her discriminatory and derogatory language balk at ~$93,000 costs and fines, but these reports and investigations ARE expensive (ask any organization how much 130+pages of report and investigation costs). /4.

You can read statements that she made in the college's report and you can see how much the college considered whether or not it was discriminatory, derogatory, or even within their jurisdiction. They deliberated HARD. /3.

I personally believe that anyone who makes glib & transphobic (my opinion), discriminatory and derogatory (college of nursing opinion) comments about trans people, or freely uses the "r" word, has no business being a nurse in BC. I'm glad the BC college of nursing agrees. /2.

Amy Hamm was correctly, in my opinion, held accountable for publicly posting statements that would reasonably cause any transgender person in BC to believe that they would be treated in a discriminatory way if a transphobic nurse like her was taking care of them. /1.
A nurse was dragged through years of legal proceedings and now faces $94K bill because she expressed a commonly-held political view on social media and in podcasts. She mistreated no patient. We’re not living a free country when packs of censors control our regulated professions.

Oh my god, Tyler Blacks of the world unite! This is amazing and thank you so much to the original @tylerblack . I know I cause you so much challenge in people mistagging me.
@tylerblack32 @felicitybagwash @DaleCloudman @Binkles_ @chucker @Glinner While I'm tagged in this and I'm not the correct @tylerblack32 that should have been tagged, and I'm not a health care provider, I fully support Tyler Black, MD's position here. Trans kids are real. Suicide rates in trans kids are higher than other groups.

RT @neurorebelde: @tylerblack32 @tylerblack32 , this quotation might come in handy in your admirable defence of the trans community. Kudos….
