Honestly think that the major message for the next generation of psychiatrists is that how neurodiversity is expressed, particularly in women and in restrictive contexts, is not “emotional instability” and is most definitely not “personality disorder”

That feeling when you stumble on something and realise you must be old after all

The mislabelling of neurodivergent women as having “personality disorder” is one of the most harmful acts enabled by that diagnostic concept

It’s a progressive change in the law from 2007 enabling registered and regulated clinicians from a range of recognised, traditional backgrounds to be responsible for the care of people detained under the Mental Health Act. Please don’t conflate it with other, unrelated, issues

My team bought me flowers. I’m 52 and never had my own flowers before. Lovely

What I learnt today as a consultant psychiatrist for a long time - there’s a definite “ADHD Tax” on people’s lives when they have to make decisions about money but can’t completely focus
