@luckyerica3.bsky.socialReposted by @nsunnews.bsky.socialMakan are so skilled at having these conversations in a way that stays true to the realities of this genocide but also brings you in if you feel like you don't know enough to speak or you are scared of getting it wrong. I was scared (in fact, I'd got it wrong before) I had knowledge gaps. /1
@ellehodges.bsky.socialReposted by @nsunnews.bsky.socialThis on the over-diagnosis myth: even the government’s own commissioned report shows this is false and that there are multiple factors increasing the need for mental health support. Will the Burnham gov stop peddling these lies yet? Or are we going to see a continued attack on disabled people?
@nsunnews.bsky.socialAlongside @makanrights.bsky.social, we host a bi-monthly online sharing space to think, learn, and feel about Palestine, mental health, militarism, and colonialism.
Sign up for our first session on 20 October below.
@nsunnews.bsky.socialWe will be publishing explainers and further analysis in the coming weeks and reject claims from some media outlets that there is widespread overdiagnosis of ADHD and autism. The report certainly does not conclude this. (5/5)
@nsunnews.bsky.socialIf taken seriously, these findings could be a watershed moment in how we think about and respond to distress. (4/5)
@nsunnews.bsky.socialLast week that review was published, and it might not be quite what the Government was hoping for… Rather than finding mental ill-health is being overdiagnosed, the review revealed a complex web of social, economic & system issues that are causing a real rise in distress. (2/5)
@nsunnews.bsky.socialAmong other factors it named poverty, climate change, the housing crisis, and political instability as causes of rising national misery. It also found that while diagnoses can be helpful for some, the mental health system relies on them too much, creating barriers to care. (3/5)
@nsunnews.bsky.socialThe Government has debunked its own myth that mental ill-health is being overdiagnosed. Last year the Government commissioned prominent UK psychologists to conduct an independent review exploring whether mental ill-health was being overdiagnosed in the UK. (1/5)

@stopoxevision.bsky.socialReposted by @nsunnews.bsky.socialNext week the Lampard Inquiry will resume with hearings to hear evidence that may support the need for interim recommendations to be issued regarding observations and technology, including the use of Oxevision (now LIO health)
@justtreatment.orgReposted by @nsunnews.bsky.socialLast night, hundreds of people gathered outside Palantir's London HQ to demand an end to their #NHS contract. The rally closed a day of protests at 40+ locations across England, and a week of action against Palantir around the world. ✊
