Hey web kids check this out! Andy from the BBC offers up his excellent article on how to properly code for motion #a11y as well as the severity of certain conditions that we disregard daily but may potentially disrupt entire families and colleagues and not just the user alone.
To end on a musical note if you've not seen this tribute to George Harrison with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Dhani Harrison cover My Guitar Gently Weeps sweetly? Wait for Prince who wipes the stage clean with an incredible lead outro. Delicious!

The next tweets will be from various studies and individuals and groups concerned with the psychiatric shifts and changes within the communities surrounding Psychiatry which is technically pseudoscience and psychology questionable still.
The more I study the more uncomfortable with long-term psych Med use in the USA and the world. Only my opinions still with documentation and studies to follow. I believe it's time to end one of the most damning and dangerous stigmas in the world. I'm grateful that people care.
These meds need more unpaid unsolicited independent real scientific testing. Until we know more please please Reserve these meds for the most severe most violent worst-case scenarios preferably in a reputable Kettering Hospital setting for the short-term until we understand more
The whistles from inside are blowing the doctor's but workers the DSM authors the insiders are as we see increase in number of diseases number of new Pharmaceuticals number of Social Security claims and illicit drug abuse skyrocketing higher and higher each day. Why? Do you know?
We are infants in our knowledge of Medicine. Behavioral physical mental whatever you want to call or categorize the fact is we have very little knowledge and need to slow down especially children who are developing why would you give a development child a very dangerous drug?
The other thing to be aware of please is in mental health in the USA no one ever considers brain tumors illnesses that disrupt Behavior medications that cause Behavioral or psychiatric illnesses. Of all disabling conditions there is none more stigmatized then what we call crazy.
There are very very few people who should be taking psychotropic drugs for the long-term. To have a quarter of the u.s. population medicated and one in five children medicated is disastrous in the long term. We create very severe diseases and death not viable long-term cures.
There was a Saturday Night Live skit about puppy uppers and doggie downers that's what we're giving ourselves when we take psychiatric drugs. In the short term they may be necessary in the long term we're giving a new disease because we don't know the causes of these illnesses.
One in five children in the USA are being given drugs for spectrum disorders one in five starting at the age of four. These are psychotropics as well. Where did they go the amphetamine class of psychiatric drugs so would you hand your child a meth pipe and tell them to smoke it?
Same thing is true with benzos. Do they call him a patient sound do they knock them out depending upon the dosage yes that's exactly what they do. Again not a replacement or a modulation but a psychotropic result and definitely not Curative. Short-term use I need seems reasonable
Does an antipsychotic treat a psychotic no it's suppresses a psychotic episode by dulling perception and motor skills that's why you see shuffling drooling nodding out people after being highly dosed with an antipsychotic. And and opioid would work just as well.
Categorically we can go down every single psychiatric drug and find this to be the pattern and the truth psychiatric medications alter levels of consciousness not modulate a brain chemistry per se it's possible at times they might but we don't know we can't measure merely observe
