Last week, the Ont govt announced that psychologists will be getting prescription rights.
This next week, our psych college announced that in response to govt pressure, the new standard to be a
psychologist will be 1/3 of the training we currently require.
This needs to be public.

!["“There are people who have real benefits [from this care],” said Guyatt. “To deny it to people, to make people suffer unnecessarily, that’s another type of harm.”
When I asked Guyatt what had compelled him to speak out more forcefully, he pointed to a variety of factors: the alleged misuse of his research, SEGM’s general conduct, and the recent rise of a student group protesting McMaster’s association with SEGM."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oft6xm44u4enh423gvi4nkyh/bafkreibzhvhq4uinlwqmjrps3m35djia7fqvgkizwylrdqx23lpzzefgou@jpeg)

This is also a good time to remind people that, according to the best available evidence, LLM-based chatbot therapy is about as effective as unguided self-help and might not even work for symptoms other than depression.

This 1895 medical essay is so fucking real. “You say you just want gays to be happy. That’s expecting far too much. Be real for a moment. It’s not like straights are happy.”

So you're telling me the PABAK statistic "adjusts" for prevalence and bias by ignoring them, but when I "adjust" for the dirty dishes by hiding them in the oven, I'm "making my girlfriend regret signing a lease with me"?

Academics… you do realize that engaging in research from a place of privilege and ignorance is infinitely more biasing than being personally impacted by a topic, right?

“It’s awful what’s happening in the US but that will never happen in Canada”
Today in Canada, the official opposition did this. That means that, if they get elected, they’ll be fighting to make these policies a reality.

Watched Twilight with my gf last night and while we make fun of the Cullens for going to high school forever, if I was an immortal cursed to sparkle in the sun I would get way too many academic specialties 🤮. No sun, just an MPH, 3 more clinical competencies, stats diploma #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky

Been thinking about how people who self-injure cite intrapersonal reasons for doing so WAY MORE than interpersonal, but report rejection & conflict as antecedents and risk factors for SI. Makes sense that the way you feel about an interaction, rather than the interaction itself, elicits SI... (1/2)
