Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists are currently sailing to Gaza to deliver aid. They are due to arrive in about 6 days. Their bravery gives me a little hope during this bleak time for humanity. #AllEyesOnDeck You can watch their journey here. freedomflotilla.org/ffc-tracker/

No better demonstration of why we need a complete upgrade of our rail services in Yorkshire and across the north than my train journey today: packed in like sardines, 4 carriages out of service because of a lack of staff, disabled people standing in the corridors…

Semi-regularly I think about how Beck's cognitive triad includes "negative views about the world/the future" as components of depression. I have a lot of thoughts like this right now but wouldn't say I'm depressed. Rather they are a logical response to what is happening.

We are making clinical decisions that we would NEVER have made 6 years ago. Holding risk at levels that are impossible to do without causing psychological harm to ourselves. Because to make an alternative decision is to leave a patient with no help. I still try to do what is…

Do you live in Edinburgh? Are you neurodivergent and/or living with mental illness? We are conducting research on how to make websites more accessible for people who are neurodivergent and/or have mental illness. Scan QR code for more info. Please share with Edinburgh friends!

It is horrific to see how Gaza has been utterly destroyed over the last 12 months. I appreciate these people with disabilities talking about their experiences. How they used to focus on studying and goals for the future, but now they focus on finding water and food.

Something that might be relevant to some of my mutuals on here. My colleague is looking for responses from people who carried out PhD research on a topic they had experienced themselves. Could be particularly relevant to people with lived experience of mental illness.

Helpful thread. It's sad to see much-needed mental health reforms put at risk due to media narratives surrounding a recent tragic case. "Getting help", for yourself or others, is extremely difficult when it comes to mental illness in the UK.

Thinking of the people who are currently frightened to go out in England because of their skin colour.

Tomorrow (31st July) is the last day to participate in this project! It's open to people with and without OCD, so please consider taking part if you have a spare 15 minutes. edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ez…

I just came across an advert for a London-based clinical trial which says it is testing a "new medicine for treating autism spectrum disorder (ASD)." There's no info on what "treating ASD" entails. It's shocked me a bit to see this - am I being naïve?

We welcome the national policing statement from @PoliceChiefs which says that violence against women and girls should be treated as an epidemic news.npcc.police.uk/releases/call-…
