First paper from our international ECT survey just out.

On all 5 efficacy measures most recipients, and most relatives, reported it either made no difference or made things worse. Some were helped though.

Thanks to all 1,144 who completed the survey.

Do take a look👇🏼 … this book has already been so helpful for people when it’s hard to know what to say, what to do or how to be!

My precious Dexter🖤🤍. Sharing some of his calm, softness & love. He reminds me to go gently. Its ok if the news is too much. If I cant speak out right now. Those who can will. The abuse has taken enough already. We do what we can with what we have at any time. That’s enough!

Dexters face … he’s fast asleep with his mouth hanging down and ears back lying on a soft blue blanket. There’s a lamp and windows behind hi

‘Walk gently in the lives of others. Not all wounds are visible’👇🏼

It’s easier to remember this with people we like & agree with. Or who agree with us. My challenge is trying to remember this with everyone I interact with. And reflecting on how I’m truly practicing my values!

This👇🏼captures how the past swarms leaving you trailing through the treacle of grief despair & what feels like madness. Paranoid, depressed, suicidal they’d have said. Not now. In context it makes sense. Medicalising the ‘symptoms’ of abuse led to more violence #16DaysOfActivism

Lawyer reports outcome of Florida jury trial at which I summarised the ECT research, alongside several other scientists. An historic, precedent setting decision.

Important report on building blocks to end hunger launched by @trusselluk.bsky.social NI today.

Poverty is a key driver of mental distress.

Delighted to see Deirdre McCausland, #NewScript for Mental Health activist, carrying the message to government about joining these dots.
