Aidan Shingler, collecting, and finding some things (valuable), but ignoring others wholescale

When psychiatrists and other interested persons¹ say xyz's 'symptomatic of this type of case', it's a circular argument² :

To patients, it may sound as if all they experience just gets added to a roof-space repository of diagnoses where Rochester's wife is meant to stay.#attic

² On a surgical ward, there might be links in background, diet, phenotype that give rise more regularly to operation A via condition B.

Psychiatrists see many people who've been in collisions, but, though operating in an emergency, ignore it all for their chosen similarities³.

³ Aidan Shingler's powerful show in Durham Cathedral in the late 1990s exerted traction by pointing out a parallel in lepidopterology (the desire to collect specimens), as referenced here :https://t.co/FTnqiUYxPvhttps://t.co/9nDRWhPxxE

Why 'psychiatric challenges' (or 'nervous breakdowns') are just like chucking your mobile down the hall...

Needless to say - as *not* every conversation, least of all about (one's own) #mh, is good : such a person is pretended to (as with most) ? https://t.co/STqNFDSrQX

But *who cares* if it's better language than 'nervous breakdown' - because it imports 'psychiatry' :

Ignoring the content / seeing symptoms https://t.co/4oysvG5PFB

Which, maybe neatly, brings us to 'Psychosis' :

Does 'psychosis' really mean much more than I, as your 'nearest relative' (or other family member, etc.) or employer or doctor, etc., don't think that you should think what you think ?

Really sad for patients with psychosis to see the BPS apparently engaged in a clumsy sectarian ideological misfire. https://t.co/6NLEyuAlEM

I was told that I had had #psychosis, and this crap about a chemical balance that needed meds ! :

Truth is that my mood goes higher to cope

"Clumsy sectarian ideological misfire". Oh FFS @bengoldacre.
That comment reveals you haven't got a clue about #understandingpsychosis. https://t.co/CFi9FpegjP

Generally, one upholds @bengoldacre's critique of bad science.

Yet, as supposedly part of medical science, psychiatry's dogmas are dubious. https://t.co/Yth1gdbH9J

Why is mental-health charity SANE promoting a survey that seems incapable of not using 'psychosis' and 'schizophrenia' interchangeably ?

Why is mental-health charity SANE promoting a survey that seems incapable of not using 'psychosis' and 'schizophrenia' interchangeably ?

Have you experienced #schizophrenia or #psychosis? Please complete our survey about services and support in the UK: https://t.co/MzDrsiPPgX pic.twitter.com/N2V7s7mzMc

I did complete it :

However, it excluded me *so many times*, by conflating #schizophrenia with #psychosis - and this from a #mh charity ? ! https://t.co/rbJsz9qIWd

— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 5, 2017

Someone who has had episodes of #psychosis may be suspicious or paranoid at times, or wonder what is real, but that isn't #schizophrenia... https://t.co/nrTPXFGYqf

SANE= Schizophrenia A National Emergency. Nuff said.

— EndMedicalAbuse (@validconsent) August 5, 2017

Or someone whose experience has been labelled #schizophrenia might talk of that experience, but talk quite differently from such things ? https://t.co/HDNF8K8KlM

How awful. @CharitySANE you need to review your practices, approach, thought, knowledge, concept, preconceived ideas of 'mental' health! 🙄

Some pages appeared to require an answer regardless - other, more intelligent surveys, invite you to say more, depending on previous answers
