Shocking how quickly prominent psychs like @tylerblack32 and @ProfRobHoward go on the attack when harmed patients speak up, draped in condescension and hollow authority. It reeks of desperation, like their fortress of denial is crumbling.
Forced to confront the damage they’ve long ignored or denied. Instead of listening, they double down on defensiveness, protecting their reputations at the expense of the very people suffering. This isn’t about science or care, it’s about preserving power
They weaponize stigma and disbelief to maintain control, turning patients into pariahs for daring to challenge the narrative. The same voices that should be advocating for compassion and rigorous science instead use their platforms to intimidate and silence
Meanwhile, countless people continue to suffer in silence, trapped in protracted withdrawal and misdiagnoses that the system refuses to acknowledge. This toxic arrogance, this willful blindness, is the true epidemic and is a global public health crisis
We will keep standing firm, supporting each other, and speaking out for change and reform. The cracks are widening, and it’s only a matter of time before the whole narrative comes crashing down
