Lobo Antunes. A man with a deep soul and a beautiful, sad tenderness.
He was a psychiatrist, before writing took over.
Journalist: "you learned to unravel the human mind..."
"Do psychiatrists understand the human mind? No it is life that teaches us to understand each other"

About a quarter of “healthy” young adults think they have ADHD (28%), according to new research. But that number jumped to more than half (58%) after they received an ADHD awareness campaign based on popular ADHD advocacy groups’ material. worrying? bit.ly/48gFZNK

All self-help in the literature section. No time for stories, you need to be improving yourself.
Maybe "self-help" sections should be replaced with "help your neighbour" sections and then we wouldn't need them as much.

In Hinduism, god is considered the Self: the self of the individual and also the self of the universe. And if Jesus had lived in India and had announced that he was god, everybody would have said, “Of course. Congratulations! You found out.” You know?

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws.
Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide.
This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

"The silence of so many of our medical institutions in the face of this genocide reflects a profound failure to uphold the ethical principles these institutions claim to espouse and seek to instil in their members." @rcpsych

A thoughtful article about the process of therapy, what it is and isn't

“What I wanted was to manage myself out of my emotions rather than feel them, to hack my life rather than live it – and that makes for a shallower existence, not a better one”. On what constitutes proper therapy 👇 theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

When schools go truly phone free--collected and stored away for the day--the results are transformative.
When phones are only prohibited during class time, they are still very disruptive DURING class.
Give kids and teachers a break.

This is one of the great graphics of education policy, and is worthy of deep study.
Phones are a scourge, and if you're running a school that allows them *in any way* you are increasing the chances of disruption massively.
Control the controllables.

Feeling deep love and sorrow for Amanda Feilding. True pioneer. I owe my start to Amanda. It was joy to share the same passion and wonder, like children, wide-eyed. She will always have a dear place in my heart. Love and admiration. Rest in Peace. 💖

NHS surgeon Victoria Rose speaking from Gaza: "we're operating on 75% children.. these kids are tiny, underweight, malnourished.. they've got such significant life changing injuries.. lost limbs, disfiguring facial injuries, & the burns are catastrophic"

When a friend calls you and your first thought is ‘oh God, he’s about to tell me his whole family are dead’ you have to respond.
See today’s Guardian for the full story about Mohammed’s family in Jabalia, Gaza. Our Government can and must do more.

An essential measure of whether you are in the right setting to bring up kids is: there is a local friend/relative that can come to your house, without warning, and just walk in and it won't be strange.
