Thursday
Hello there 👋🏽 I hope you’re having a lovely Thursday.

Today I thought I should pop in and just to share with you how having a stress ball helped me through academic stress and how that experience became the motivation behind us selling stress balls.
Also still keeping in mind that mental health is still a pressing issue in our community and we here at NeuroBloom Psychology practice are working on raising awareness through our mental health campaign shop. However we can’t do it without you, so we are urging you to check out
the shop. Not only will you be getting yourself an item from our store but 10% of the profit share is donate to Moreson Special School situated in Khomasdal and caters for about 150 learners with cognitive and intellectual impairments from across the country.

This mornings rant will be correcting how leaders should address the mom from MA w/ #postpartum #psychosis who killed her kids

#1: "district attorney said the incident was an unimaginable, senseless tragedy."

No it's not - we know this social issue.🧵

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t…
In fact, #postpartum depression not only is the number one killer of birthing parents - it is killing us in the long term too - 20% of deaths in the postpartum period are due to #Suicides

U.S. policies that hate families and women perpetuate this obvi.

newsroom.uvahealth.com/2022/10/04/sci…
#2: "Authorities have not said whether they're looking {postpartum psychosis} as a factor in her alleged crimes, but "It does seem like a pretty classic case of postpartum depression with potential psychosis,"

This is the problem: they ignore us.

#Valproate (VPT) is still more efficacious and more cost-effective as compared to #levetiracetam (LEV) for treating generalized #Epilepsy (GE)

1. I see an increasing trend for prescribing LEV in emergency room, ICU & OPD for GE
#MedTwitter #neurotwitter

doi.org/10.1016%2FS014…
2. In a recent study, LEV was found to be inferior for times to treatment failure, 2-year remission from seizures, and first subsequent seizure. In addition, LEV was not found to be a cost-effective alternative.
3. This is despite the fact the LEV is associated with a higher incidence of #psychiatric and #behavioral adverse effects.
This is a major problem in #ICU patients, as it adds to the burden of patients with #psychosis in ICU.

Therapist 🧵: #Narcissistic Fixated Stalking. #Stalking is illegal in almost every country in the world, but that doesn't mean those who are stalked get the help they need. Stalking is on the Increase due to social media, lack of knowledge by law enforcement as to what #illegal
To do with them, their high levels of manipulation & the law not keeping up with current times. Clusters B's are well known for stalking & taking revenge when they don't get what they want from you. Narcissists & psychopaths are even known to kill your pets.
They may contact your employee With outright lies, stalk you both online & offline & accuse you of stalking them. Stalking is something narcissists (and other cluster B's) love to engage in. It gives them power, control & yes, entertainment #dysfunctional

Before I move forward and officially enter Year-2 of my PhD (as a part-time clinician), let’s take stock of some of the work done so far! There is still a lot (!) to do but here is a short thread for new followers and for those interested #delusions, #psychosis and #meaning 1/7
Here I ask whether delusions could enhance a person’s sense of meaningfulness. This may seem counterintuitive but, Harry tells me he is the happiest man in the world…It’s like a “safety blanket”, he says. What should clinicians do? @matthewrbroome

In this opinion piece, we reflect on the role of self-interpretation and meaning-making processes in the context of early psychosis and prediction research...3/7

It is very important in this period of humanity to take a serious look at what is happening in the world friends.

Watch this video first in its entirety & reflect upon current situations critically.

#Menticide is here & with it, a new attempt to establish a "#TechnoTotalitarian" rule over the lives of American citizens.

The final variant of #Coronavirus could very well be the manifestation of a #NewWorldOrder under #totalitarian rule.
That may sound absurd, but what is very concerning is that many talking heads in the media & even public figures are now making very carefully worded emotional appeals to logic to further induce a totalitarian #masspsychosis.

1/ @LondonNadeau @jennav5 & myself did not ignore or minimize the risks of cannabis in our opinion editorial @drrobbietee @DrCharlEls @tibbop @sudschool @CPA_APC @csam_smca @jonathanstea @eksogenisk @AMC_Signpost @hakique @tomfolanmd @melrod42

*Multi post thread* Image
2/ We had a limited word count and could not cover additional topics such as youth & evidence for use etc.

Unfortunately @globeandmail @GlobeDebate created a clickbait title here which did not do us justice.
3/ We acknowledged that THC can cause psychosis in certain individuals

Risk factors:
-Heavy THC use
-Daily THC use
-Genetic Predisposition: may account for 69-84% of the link btw cannabis & psychosis

The majority of cannabis users do not experience psychosis/schizophrenia

Borderline Personality Disorder aka Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder is one of the most misunderstood, stigmatised & complex mental health diagnoses (Thread) #BPD #EUPD
#MentalHealthAwareness
One could write pages relating to the condition BPD and a layman’s understanding would still be incomplete. For this reason I am going to try and keep it short, simple and concise as I can and explain to you what BPD is to me.
BPD is intense feelings of loneliness & an inability to sit with myself without resorting to poor coping behaviours #BPD #EUPD #MentalHealthAwareness
