"What is health?" isn't a simple question --and it's never been just biological. A quick thread to explain the Biopsychosocial Model. #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #MedEd #Biopsychosocial #PrimaryCare #HealthLiteracy #MedSky
Link to #cancer, #suicide, when I do a #biopsychosocial evaluation, #treatmentplan #treatmentplans we tally these, risk factors, and that was what I was taught in my masters program, too.

This is obviously unconscionably in a Civil Rights Organization, which leads me to suspect they are an Anti #ME front group.
#MyalgicEncephalomyelitis
FND Action is ignoring pacing advice, pushing #GradedTherapy & #CBT and #Biopsychosocial pseudosciences
If you are in this #Disability space
Highlights
• #LongCOVID diagnosis is predicted by #biopsychosocial factors
• Brain fog in LC is related to both mental & physical health symptoms
• #Brainfog has objective cognitive correlates
• Remission rates for LC in a follow up sample was 14.3%
Agree, lot of what attracted me to #Geriatrics, #biopsychosocial model of care, getting to know them beyond their numbers. A pillar of our work is “What matters”, which cannot be quantified in any way.
I think every older adult, especially frail ones benefit from #Geriatrician, but not enough of us
Let's talk about where the BPS model of #ME leads... You're told you don't deserve help Your experience is being denied Your support network is denigrated You can't leave your house You're afraid of dying but can't access healthcare You cannot trust the people closest to you Wise Cat Wise Cat is saying - “Has anyone else noticed that the psychiatric model of #ME is really just a form of COERCIVE CONTROL?” #FanningTheFlames

Title - This Week in Disbelief.. This is a cartoon in 3 vertical sections - Section 1 title - "The Most Hated Doctor in Britain" has been appointed by a Labour government as vice-chair of an investigation into whether mental health problems and neurodivergence are being OVERDIAGNOSED. Section 2 title - Prof Simon Wessely, the careerist punitive psychiatrist whose views on #MEcfs have led to decades of underfunding, medical ignorance. unnecessary disability and definitely preventable deaths. seems wedded to these powerful persecutory roles. Section 3 title - How can we understand this commitment to coercion from a doctor? Does he perhaps: • Crave recognition from powerful groups? • Struggle with unresolved trauma? • Chase career and social gains? • Lack self-awareness & empathy? • Think the ends justify the means? In the bottom right hand corner is wise Cat who’s saying “Or perhaps he's just a dick?!” The cartoon maker is #FanningTheFlames

The title says “Post-viral Illness/BPS Model The first image is a glorious garden, a cat asleep in a tree, woman asleep (or dead) under a tree and a bird sitting on her shoulder looking puzzled. Surrounding the woman are images of viruses On the left is an image of a dog barking up at dead tree, completely oblivious of the situation behind him In the middle Wise Cat sits on a pile of books - she is saying “The problem over there isn’t the lack of evidence over here, it’s a wilful refusal to turn round and see“ The cartoon maker is #FanningTheFlamesi

Beside here chair FTF’s cat is stretching FTF is saying “Aren't the unscientific ideas of some powerful psychiatrists the main barrier to solving post-infectious illnesses?” The psychiatrist is replying “NO. #LONG COVID AND #ME ARE JUST MASS HYSTERIA!!!” In the second box FRF’s cat has acquired a magic wand and has disappeared the psychiatrist. FTF is saying “Uh oh!” In the caption Wise Cat has her bac to the viewer and is looking over her shoulder. She is saying “Ain't nobody got time for that sh*t” The cartoon maker is #FanningTheFlames

Greetings from the #ME Chapter of the "We Do Not Care Club" A woman is sitting in a chair with a checklist of things we do not care about She’s saying “This week we DO NOT CARE about the careers/ research funding/job losses/ disgrace/or knighthoods,-that-have-to-be-returned. of any psychiatrist or psychologist who based their career on telling sick and dying people with #ME that they were making it up. In the bottom right hand corner is a wise cat wearing glasses. She’s saying “And if you think this is directed at you - it probably is!” The cartoon maker is #FanningTheFlames
Sill no statement from the psychiatrists who were killing people then?
