Screenshot of a tweet from user 'Steve Loftus' containing a clip of a woman speaking on tv. The text reads "I find it truly astounding that this woman thinks it perfectly normal and acceptable to be claiming benefits for mild anxiety while TALKING ON LIVE TV.
Nobody should get benefits for anxiety, especially those that can travel to a studio, sit in an audience and talk on TV."
Don't take mental health (or any other kind of) advice from Steve Loftus. #BadPsychology

If your therapist describes "a reasonable and proportional response to objective reality" as mental illness then you have a bad therapist - or there's a slim possibility that your response has not been reasonable and proportional. Or you don't understand what 'objective' means. #BadPsychology

Screenshot of a Tweet which reads: - "The vast majority of modern psychology as a whole field is a pseudo-science and demonic in nature, being completely reductionistic and denying the transcendent aspect of one's identity, which is itself pure and eternal. The irony is that only by living with the vision of that true and pure aspect of ourselves, which is in reality our true self (the soul), can we go beyond fear, worries, anger, mental illness, depression, and become fully stable, virtuous, peaceful and happy.
Being completely materialistic and ridden with vices, those who have laid the frameworks of this field, and the majority who study it are completely clueless what is true meaning, what is true virtue, what is evil and to be avoided. No matter how much mind numbing medicines they prescribe, they never actually cure a person. Sincere faith in the Supreme Person, however, will unfailingly make the person fearless and pure."
