Just because there are acute obvious problems to address in psychiatry…doesn’t mean there are answers. If one steps back for a moment….many often realize psychiatry has done a whole of 0 to improve lives after devastating issues. There are NO treatments. People are to complex

“Standards” is a psychiatric problem. Standards cannot be fixed in #psychiatry for people who are perceived as lazy as is with #Bipolar / #schizophrenia. Low standards is the condition of anhedonia and has certainly not been touched an inkling by current #psychiatric #treatments

#Psychiatry will never be able to figure out “ipseity” cognitive slippage. There are mitochondrial treatments one can do to reinstill sense of self but they are temporary. #psychiatry and #science must devote some time to understanding this….and they won’t

Unmet psychiatric needs are “standards” of wanting and going after goals. An individual wanting to participate and valuating rewards of social situations, own brain etc. in no way has the tx’s of #psychiatry targeted these thinking issues in BP and SZC. Pills don’t treat issues

—I don’t think we’ll ever figure out longCOVID as a neurological condition and what it’s doing, what it has done in a post covid world —-exercise helps anhedonia and Alzheimer’s —Microtubules seem to be the answer to treating Alzheimer’s as well People need better treatments

Begging science to stop saying Transcraniel Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is effective in treating negative symptoms in schizophrenia. It’s not true and it seems so hard for scientists to grasp that it’s just don’t treating these symptoms. This industry blows my mind

Everyone’s getting on the criticizing psychiatry bandwagon Make no mistake about it. Psychiatry has not moved the needle an inch in terms of dealing with the most pressing issues they have before them. Treatment resistant negative symptoms in BP and SZC. Not a fucking inch

Psychiatry only understands depression not anhedonia. Why 🧠’s decide to turn off/ withdraw will never be solved by “taking a pill” Anhedonia is far to complex and the core issue in this field. No matter how psychiatry would like to spin it, theyve made no progress in this domain

We must place pressure on psychiatry to understand stress related anhedonia, brain receeding, brain withdrawal Psychiatry treats acute serious issues. There’s a population of residual symptom people who have lost their lives to this misunderstood stuff. #Psychiatry must do better

Developing anhedonia at a young age age after a peak productive period can go on to ruin lives. Some young people get hit like a ton of 🧱. #Anhedonia can develop into serious psychiatric issues out of nowhere. #Psychiatry has not moved the needle in truly treating this

To understand mood disorders, you need an explanatory framework for understanding mood - a brief 🧵. The metabolic level is the wrong level for this. Computationally, mood is a representation of reward availability in environments with correlated rewards, and we can understand

#Stress, #amphetamines , being at the top of one’s “game” for some contribute to life altering anhedonic disorders. #Psychiatry has no understanding of this. Theres an element of depression to them but it is not depression. Psychiatry must understand and DO SOMETHING!
