Ich dachte gerade HÄ, erinnere mich: das war wegen der Verbindung von nicht-kompetent und gefährlich, bei dem zugewanderten Attentäter, der Psychiater war. Und ja, nicht-kompetent+gefährlich, wenn auch in anderer Hinsicht, gibt es in dem Bereich oft; u. dann eben die Referenz auf #adisorder4everyone
Another reason why you won’t want to miss this year’s #adisorder4everyone Festival!

Es gibt auch nicht-kompetente u. gefährliche Psychiater*innen, die NICHT straffällig werden. Brauch da nur eine Freundin fragen, die im einem Verein psychiatriegeschädigter/-erfahrener Aktiv ist.
Plus: Man bez. langjährige Klinik-Patienten* als Menschen mit "Psychiatriekarrieren" #Adisorder4everyone

Leute, die ernsthaft an Psy interessiert sind, können u. sollten sich auf X unter #adisorder4everyone zum Einstieg orientieren; leider ist die ganze rel. Psy Bubble noch nicht auf Bluesky, nicht mal mit einem Zweitaccount. Liegt aber auch an dem Ton- Konversations-, Topicmodus, der hier dominiert.
The #adisorder4everyone festival tomorrow will collect together allies fr 4 continents to challenge the culture of diagnosis& disorder & launch the new #dropthedisorder book @pccsbooks

Paraphrasing…
What exactly is therapy?
The most meaningful therapy is about changing the structures and systems that are making us feel so terrible. - Dr. Sanah Ahsan

We started the morning hearing from @ClinpsychLucy about how the movement for global mental health is exporting the system of western/northern disorders to the rest of the world.
Why are we replicating a broken system? #dropthedisorder

1/ As we evolve as humans, parenting was not done alone it was done within the community. Today parents are alone & operating in a system that does not support them - thus the child is not supported. CT
During the COVID19 crisis, El Salvador has canceled everyone's electricity bills. How would this reduce people's anxiety during the global pandemic? @johannhari101
