Great experience trying out Ripple Effect mapping to explore the impacts of our work and connections made! Such a fantastic opportunity in person to build our relationships and make evaluation fun! Thanks to all 🙂

It was great meeting in person and being part of the Mental Health Platform PPI&E steering group yesterday in Edinburgh. @nessbennett.bsky.social helped us with ripple mapping to think about the impact of our work. Thank you Susannah Strong for coordinating. Looking forward to today's Summit #WMHD25

Holy shit the FDA panel on antidpressants seems wild to me. I am not an expert, but apparently depression is a useless term and that is preventing us from feeling emotional distress. We should experience everything as a signal and learn to pay attention to it.

New paper published today but a long time in the making. A critique of the pseudo-diagnosis of complex emotional needs. We outline a number of concerns and risks of the term which has quickly become widely adopted in the NHS. #MadSky #AcademicSky www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
