I wish someone would do a trial of mindfulness versus the patient spending the same amount of time doing a hobby they enjoy ( and can still manage) . I doubt that mindfulness would be superior. Of course that's my bias at work! I'm quite sure over the lifetime of an illness CBT/ mindfulness make...

Who will he debate with? He is trying to CBT everything! Surely that's a big agenda he's trying to force on healthcare. Isn't he an activist for the CBT lobby???

Hope4mefibro are hoping to get USB sticks of Montoya and Weir talking about GOOD care. They are forceful about the harm of exercise. These could be useful for your MP to watch.

I completely agree. During ME awareness week, a report published by the BBC had a quote from an unnamed GET expert that " it was safe and useful for SOME". Was that an admission that it doesnt work as well as they claim ? Maybe a less rigid one size fits all is possible. I would prefer that GPs...

Anyone able to send this to Kat Kelland? Might make her think.

A group of UK psychologists are arguing with RCPsych. about SSRI and withdrawal effects. The TODAY program had an interview/ argument between one of the psychologists and guess who....... Clare Gerada.

There are fewer green dots overall , so studies are not as robust as author groups claim. Did Blakemore bother to look at review before opining.?

Hopefully some of the press officers/ communication people from the charities are going to write as well?

November 2017 we were told by the Dean of medical school that GMC wanted doctors to be trained to be less DOGMATIC and more curious.

What were their statisticians advising? This is pretty basic . Was their advice ignored? Or have we more incompetence from presumably MRC statisticians? Are they now involved in MAGENTA and FITNET? I'm not excusing the authors, it suited their purpose.

One of her interests is " bullying in the scientific community"

I think they did say that the brain has become accustomed to the higher serotonin levels.
