The #UN reports that over one million people in #Gaza require #mental_health care over two years amid worsening humanitarian conditions.
"Did you know that nearly one in five UK adults - and almost one in four women - are currently taking antidepressants? Yet according to my guest this week, the fundamental theory behind these prescriptions may be built on remarkably shaky ground.
Joanna Moncrieff is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London, consultant psychiatrist for the NHS, and the author of the groundbreaking book, Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth.
In our thought-provoking conversation, Joanna explains how the widely accepted belief that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance or serotonin deficiency has little scientific evidence to support it. This theory, which became popularised in the 1990s through pharmaceutical industry marketing, has fundamentally changed how we view our emotions and mental health."—

"Why should all of these contemporary social and economic practices and processes generate so much illness, so many disorders? To answer this I think we need to look back at the wider Enlightenment project, and the psychological models of human nature out of which they emerged. Modern capitalism grew out of seventeenth century concepts of man as some sort of disconnected, discontinuous, disengaged self – one driven by competition and a narrow, ‘rational’ self-interest – the concept of homo economicus that drove and underwrote much of the whole Enlightenment project, including its economic models.
As Iain McGilchrist notes, ‘Capitalism and consumerism, ways of conceiving human relationships based on little more than utility, greed, and competition, came to supplant those based on felt connection and cultural continuity.’
We now know how mistaken, and destructive, this model of the self is."—Rod Tweedy

If curious here is an insightful analysis of that counselor, Dr. Todd Grande, who never was a clinical psychologist, period. >

Truth about Dr Todd Grande - Analysing the Analyser with Jo Bailey, Clinical Psychologist >

Dr. Todd Grande on YouTube use the term "transgender ideology" to explain motivation to Charlie Kirk's murder! How professional is that for a so-called expert in the mental health field?
There is no "transgender ideology" and even the term "gender ideology" is a rhetorical construct used by opponents of ITQBLG equality to falsely frame transgender and nonbinary identities as a political movement or belief system rather than an intrinsic aspect of some human beings. This term was never used by transgender people and is widely recognized as a misleading and harmful label designed to de-legitimize these people existence and dehumanize transgender individuals.
As for "gender ideology" it is a term frequently used by anti-ITQBLG activists and 'social' media to discredit transgender people by implying their identity is a manufactured political agenda rather than a genuine personal experience.
The term "gender ideology" has been traced back to conservative groups in the 1990s and is used to promote discriminatory legislation and social stigma against transgender and nonbinary people.
I won't apologize to put the (ITQBLG) letters in the descending order of societal oppression.
The last decades growing visibility of transgender and nonbinary people was never caused by any ideologies, but by an obviously now past social 'tolerance' (which is not acceptance).
The historical and valid existence of non cisgender-normative folks (who can have different ideologies) should not be up for endless debate.
As of September 21, 2025, the term "gender ideology"; and more recently "transgender ideology" as Dr. Todd Grande give title to his video, continues to be weaponized in political discourse, specially by right-wing commentators and organizations, specially in the USA, to justify restrictions on transgender rights and vilification of trans* or non-binary people.
Dr. Todd Grande is only spreading more hatred and social stigma towards already marginalized demographics.
I wouldn't be surprised to witness more trans* or enbie people loosing their temper when facing legislation pressed against them and confronted by the daily dose of ignorance, bigotry, social ostracism or/and violence to deal with in everyday life of a now fascist nation.
Isn't it professional and extremely compassionate for a mental well-being "expert", Mister Grande?
Sadly covering true crime and closely covering current events to exploit the YouTube algorithm brings Todd Grande way more viewers than the very few genuine clinical psychologists analyzing the analyzer and so debunking the truth about this misleading pseudo-medical doctor.

"anthropomorphism and sycophancy, in addition to expanded memory features, are design realities of ChatGPT and other emotive chatbots that have emerged as a deeply powerful force shaping many power users' habits. And in cases of AI psychosis, they appear to play a significant role in keeping users, many of whom are paying subscribers — or become paying subscribers as their delusions deepen — trapped in obsessive, addiction-like spirals that wind up wreaking havoc on their psychological health.
And that's a dark pattern, regardless of whether such manipulation was an intentional choice to begin with. The question now is how companies correct for the worst consequences — if they're willing, or even able."—Maggie Harrison Dupré

“I do wonder what that does if you have this sycophantic, compliant [bot] who never disagrees with you, [is] never bored, never tired, always happy to endlessly listen to your problems, always subservient, [and] cannot refuse consent. What does that do to the way we interact with other humans, especially for a new generation of people who are going to be socialised with this technology?”—Dr Raphaël Millière

My unsolicited advice:
Never trust anyone who can't admit they were wrong.
Never trust anyone who can't apologize without excuses (or "reasons" for their behavior).
Red flag phrase, "I'm sorry that you feel that way."
