“He Is a Politician, Not an Islamic Senator”: Is This Distinction Really Enough? Whenever a Muslim politician attends a religious festival such as Diwali, we often see people respond with something along the lines of: “He is a politician elected to represent his constituents, who are mostly non-Muslim, in a secular political system. He is not an Islamic senator. Why don’t we ever understand that?” I think there is something wanting in this kind of response. Of course, a Muslim politician has responsibilities towards the people who elected them. They represent constituents from different backgrounds, and their role involves navigating a pluralistic society. That is understood. But the fa...

Another large study finds ADHD meds don't improve school performance, at least for kids on the margin of treatment. This study looked at all children aged 5 to 15 in Norway. It used differences in how clinics prescribe as a natural experiment. Using this analysis academic benefits of medication disappeared. "For children and adolescents on the margin of pharmacological treatment for ADHD, we found no causal effect of pharmacological treatment on any of our measures of academic performance." DOI: 10.1192/bjp.2026.10754 Picture: Figure 2(b) showing that GPA doesn’t significantly increase with meds using the instrumental variable analysis.

Psychiatry has too much to lose to change Why does psychiatry need to change? Because it misleads people about the nature of mental illness. It tends to encourage people to think that mental illness is caused by brain abnormality. But most mental illness is not brain disease. Why does psychiatry mislead people in this way? Because it suits its own interests rather than those of the patients it is supposed to serve. As it can convince enough people of its perspective, it gains prestige and economic prosperity. It is institutionally corrupt (see eg. previous post). Psychiatry is unlikely to change. It has too much financial leverage. Its funding will continue to rise because responding to...

Published today in The Lancet. "The manosphere, a diffuse commercial ecosystem and loose collection of online communities united by shared beliefs about masculinity, misogyny, and male victimisation, is an under-recognised determinant of health harms. This network has been implicated in considerable health harms: widespread mental health impacts, especially in young people; violence against women, girls, and gender minorities; and delegitimising help-seeking in boys and men. In this Viewpoint, we argue that the manosphere is best understood and addressed as a public health problem." https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(26)02027-1/fulltext

“There are endless unproven theories about how SSRIs 'work'. But any remotely experienced pracitioner should be able to see that the principle mechanism by which they 'work' (beyond placebo, confirmation bias & natural recovery over time) is by numbing one's total emotional life.” Prof James Davies

When we tell people that their depression stems from a chemical imbalance, are we inadvertently giving them the wrong mindset, by telling them that they have little control over their own emotions? Are we depriving them of the tools they need to recover?" https://www.reclaimyourinnerlife.com/p/the-surprising-power-of-mindset-for

SSRIs have a marked chemical impact on the brain. The image on the left shows radioactive tracer binding to serotonin transporters (SERT) in red/yellow (before Celexa treatment). The image on the right shows markedly reduced tracer binding, with SERT being blocked by Celexa. The difference is striking (80%). And a similar dynamic is almost certainly occurring in utero to SSRI-exposed fetuses. https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.158.11.1843

The psychedelic bandwagon continues, despite recognition that the trials are flawed by blinding problems and lack of data on long-term safety. The idea of a new miracle cure is just too tempting. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-03390-8?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nature&linkId=64247758

A new article published in the International Journal of Mental Health Nursing argues that BPD is not a neutral clinical label, but rather a mechanism of social control that can be used to punish nonconformity, discredit lived experience knowledge, and silence claims of harm caused by diagnosis. They write: “This paper contends that the BPD label functions as a regulatory category of social control, disciplining social nonconformity, trauma, gender and sexual diversity and culturally specific forms of emotional expression and relationality into a narrow hierarchical model of behavioural morality. Abolishing BPD as a diagnostic category is a necessary precondition for decolonising mental hea...
