  1. All of my illnesses that are now finally diagnosed as physical illnesses, after id been saying it for years and years, were labelled "psychosomatic" by psychs before and dismissed. difficulty urinating due to a urethral stricture, neck and back pain due to polyradiculopathy on 10 nerve roots, tinnitus tied to an ASD (im a woman..) that i got perpetually gaslit on and only got tested for at 22 after i paid out of pocket and found the testing place myself, headaches due to familial hemiplegic migraine, Digestive issues due to Intestinal methanogen overgrowth (ok that one is complicated, but theres no utility to treating it as psychosomatic, and no treatment is received that way). all of that had been labelled as "psychosomatic", and ignored. 4 of of these could have been diagnosed with a single test, and my diagnosis was delayed by 6 whole years, and i had to pay all of it out of pocket. This long term dismissive treatment has left me with a complex bundle of medical trauma that builds upon my previous trauma that i sought help for from psychs in the first place. Had i never sought help from psychs, id be less traumatised than i am now, they did not help with trauma, but did cause me more trauma. This label is of such a nature (unfalsibiable) that its so damagimg it shouldnt even be used, because it systemically prompts patient dismissal and unserious treatment. It is often used as a euphemism for "hypochondriasis" as well. Just no. In reality there are no real distinction between "psychosomatic" and "physical" because your brain is a physical organ, as is your gut. None of that actually really makes sense. All that remains is that strong dismissal potential

  4. 21:40 what these side effects are very common: - sexual dysfunction (72%), including anorgasmia (65%) - weight gain (65%) [and no it is not simply because people eat more, nor in case of antidepressants nor antipsychotics] - emotional blunting (65%) - not feeling like oneself (54%) - reduced capacity for positive feelings (46%) - addiction due to withdrawal effects etcetc you are heavily misinforming your audience by denying these Combine that with permanent changes to brain micro-morphology _even on healthy brain_, like hippoccampal atrophy, they have a bad side effect profile.

  7. sexuality too. I have asd; Im a cis woman, but also a femme lesbian. I also used to identify as gray ace (gray asexuality) due to my sensory issues, but now i dont anymore, i just call it what it is. the rate of non-heterosexuality/non-allosexuality (asexual spectrum) in autistic females is sky high. Less so for males.

  10. thats because "depression" is oftentimes just the pathologisation of normal feelings of distress in response to trauma, whether individual or systemic. even when it isnt, the diagnostic categories like "MDD", "GAD" , "schizophrenia" have little to not scientific validity.

  14. 1:30 With all due respect there is no way to distinguish between normal distress in response to a life situation and some kind of pathological process in most cases. Not only is that The case because psychiatric interviews direct the conversation in such a way to pathologise everything, to search for confirmation and not refutation (confirmation bias), but also, societal issues cause distress In the population. This distress is then noticed but instead of being seen as a useful physiological indicator and reaction to the state of society it is immediately pathologised, adorned wity a diagnostic label (that serves to stigmatise and endanger patients) and medicated into silence.

  15. unipolar depression can be persistent, it doesnt need to be episodic/cyclical
