Thanks to the anti-vax movement, measles is back in Canada.
Kudos to the anti-vaccine movement for making the world a little worse off than where they found it.

I would actually be shocked if you didn’t have these tests available for purchase at your chiropractic clinic along with the unregulated supplements that you’d like to sell me to detox the “toxins” that you say I should be fearing.

Detox is a scam.
It’s a legitimate medical term that has been hijacked by the wellness industry to sell pseudoscience.

Imagine calling yourself a mental health professional while insisting mental illness doesn’t exist.
That’s a great way to avoid taking any responsibility for the quality of payitnt care.

Schizophrenia exists.
Mental illness exists.
Psychiatric medications can be life-saving.
Psychotherapy can be life-saving.
Don't let misinformed people like @profjohnread.bsky.social tell you otherwise.
Enough with the anti-psychiatry propaganda and stigma. ✌️

There’s a cult of ignorance in the US and always has been.
The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

It’s a tall order to convince the unconvinced when their underlying beliefs about health are based on anti-scientific values, such as elevation of anecdotal evidence, intuitive thinking, conspiracy theory, and distrust of science and public health driven by propaganda.

Unfortunately such simplistic misinformation is advocated with great seriousness by the anti-psychiatry crew.

While I sit in the hospital next to my patients who experience severe depression and suicidal thoughts, I’ll be sure to tell them to eat more steak and eggs. 👍

just a reminder to folks who might not know that psychology today is basically a glorified blog. it's not peer-reviewed and it's not held to any particular journalistic or ethical standards. it's not a trustworthy resource for researching anything you don't already know about
