Child psychiatrist reflection after another week:
No!
Young adult seeing therapist for 7 yrs. Even told by therapist they have OCD.
And they do def have OCD with significant distress and impairment.
When asked if the terms CBT or ERP mean anything to them: “nope”.
This is NOT ok!
The Taliban say they will close all national and foreign nongovernmental groups in Afghanistan employing women, the latest crackdown on women’s rights since they took power in August 2021.

Frosty morning.❄️
London in the grip of frost.
Ceasefires are overrated
I was thinking about how Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson, and George Michael were four of the biggest pop stars in the '80s and how three of them died of drug abuse.
You forgot Lebanon which is an active conflict zone
The Israeli assault on Beirut has highlighted the invisible lines inherited from the Lebanese civil war. Life on one side of the street, death on the other side. This is the scariest part going forward. A city divided by grief and experience. #Lebanon
Massive airstrikes rock Beirut - smell everywhere. Ambulances heard all over city.
Another night of horror in Beirut

Dawn. London.

Zero interest
Leaving X and moving here fully is a sign of a total absence of commitment issues. I am not there yet. 😏
I have to go to bed, so sadly I'll miss the big moment, but knowing that when I wake up Bluesky will have reached its 20 million-user target is incredibly exciting to me, and I expect too many of you.
So glad this place is blossoming! And so glad to be experiencing its blossoming with all of you. 🦋
A photo of an old bottle with a label that reads: "Coca Wine: A Pleasant Tonic and Invigorating from Fresh Cocoa Leaves."
Coca wine was a popular alcoholic beverage in the 19th century. Each bottle contained approximately 6 milligrams of cocaine per ounce. One popular brand, Vin Mariani, was enjoyed by Jules Verne, Alexander Dumas, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Thomas Edison claimed it helped him stay awake! #skystorians
What do we call a tweet on Bluesky 🦋 ?
Asking for a friend.
Since Israeli airstrikes hit two neighborhoods within Beirut on Sunday and another on Monday evening, a sense of disbelief and frustration has washed over the city. “There is no security anymore,” said Hussein Zahwi, 49. “There is no security at all.”
Southern Lebanon is actually Southern Lebanon Michael.
What runs deep is your sense of entitlement.
Do Iranian psychiatrists have anything to say about this tragedy?
Robert F Kennedy got the job 🥹

Me, leading people from the other place to #Bluesky!
Welcome, newbies! I'm a medical historian who likes to remind people the past was pretty awful.
If you ever wondered what would happen if you needed a leg amputated in 1832, or if you had a toothache in 1765 - look no further.
This place looks a lot like Twitter👀
