Averil was failed by every #NHS organisation. The @PHSOmbudsman report took four years to complete and even after it was published, services have not improved. "Short-term reputational management" takes precedence over open and honest learning. #eatingdisorder #mentalhealth

I was forced out after nearly 5 years as Chairman at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS FT for exposing failures leading to preventable infant deaths. Please help me: crowdjustice.com/case/hold-n…

The Lampard Inquiry began with a minute’s silence for those who died under the care of mental health services in Essex. Baroness Lampard said alleged failings are on a “scale that’s deeply shocking” And the number of deaths is likely to be “significantly in excess of 2000”

NEW: Nadine Dorries told Hancock she was “picking off” families whose young relatives “died in very suspicious circumstances” in Essex mh hospitals in order to “isolate” grieving mother who was calling for #LampardInquiry. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09…

The Lampard Inquiry has started. A link to today’s live stream can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=KGOQ7cu0…

Met a family yesterday where their 13 year old was quickly diagnosed as bipolar disorder and placed on lithium, mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Here was the kicker... the kid was not psychotic and never was, never in inpatient, never in any formal mental health treatment other than seeing a school counselor. Nothing stands out other than what used to be considered a typical developmental struggle. How does a child get diagnosed with such a severe mental illness so recklessly? It's because the entire profession is detached from reality. Has no ethical, moral or scientific foundation. This allows for this abuse to occur.

I apologize for being a bit extra, but my heart is breaking over the state of mental health services, and I can't focus on anything else. Anyone else?

Please consider participating and help us make both mental health services and online spaces safer and more welcoming! Participation is anonymous. RTs appreciated!

So the inquest for Lauren Bridges finally begins tomorrow and will last 4-5 weeks. Lauren was a young, beautiful autistic woman who had her autism gaslit by both psychiatrists and psychologists. She saw no way out of the abuse she was suffering and died by her own hand in the unit she was supposed to be taken care of. Care wasn’t what she received, she received abuse and trauma from those who were supposed to help her heal. In advance, I will not be accepting any plea from health professionals saying they weren’t educated in autism, ignorance is not an excuse, she had been diagnosed, TWICE! Second time at the expensive cost of her mother in the hope the abuse would stop and she would receive appropriate treatment. No professional should be providing treatment and making any form of commentary on a diagnosis they’re not educated in. I was abused at the hands of a therapist uneducated in autism whilst inpatient and I can’t put into words the psychological hell and trauma it caused. I hope she is at peace wherever she’s gone, I know she is behind all of us still fighting today, alongside Zoe Zaremba and the others who were taken as a result of the system. Why were they so resistant to even acknowledge her autism? What harm would it have caused them to accept autism? What did the health professionals benefit from denying her something she made clear helped her to understand herself? What do they benefit from the EUPD label?…even though the treatment for something you don’t have is literally costing us lives.
