I am feeling hopeful after this talk. Hopeful that there are peope who want to change mental health services. Hopeful that people have a vision of how mental health services can work better for people at their most vulnerable. Thank you @femimind.bsky.social and @horatioclare.bsky.social

Donald Trump is not so much moving the Overton window.

He is demolishing the entire building containing the window and constructing an entirely new building with a new window in a different country.

@femimind.bsky.social talking about how, culturally, consent is not about one person but it's given in a social context. Very different to the individualistic view that prevails in Western cultures. Very interesting when we consider the globalisation of patient and staff groups.

If you’re curious about the harm that can happen in mental healthcare but prefer a blog over an academic article (even an open access one), check out this excellent summary from the Mental Elf. It covers the key findings of our review in a clear and accessible way.

Sharing our review that suggests traumatic experiences in mental health inpatient settings - and far more insidious than just restrictive interventions - can worsen outcomes. We urge redesign of environment, processes and autonomy to improve care.
