This woman needs to read the huge amount of papers on the effects of covid that continue after the initial symptoms. Oh, and by the way, covid is still killing around 1000 people a month in its early stages in the UK. Look At The Evidence.
The holy grail of insight needed to rehabilitate the human race! Leading psychiatrist says “this is the most important interview of all time, it solves the human condition, ends suffering & turmoil at its source & finally makes sense of our lives!”
In 2015 the Countess of Mar was amongst many who wrote to Suzanne O'Sullivan about the truly appallingly misinformed way she wrote about #ME in her previous book. Why is O'Sullivan being given a platform to promote her views again now?
Dr Suzanne O'Sullivan has a long history of claiming a range of conditions are psychosomatic when it isn't actually the case. She may have a background in stem subjects but she's pushing doctrine rather than science.
I’m not sure there is plenty of evidence. A few Neurologists/ psychiatrists have said this type of thing for years. In the 90s there was “worry” re. diagnosing the illness that I have, M.E, & failure to diagnose &provide careful early-stage Mngmt led many to become very disabled
She has a book out. Is that why she is on?
Employers have never properly accepted ‘fit noted’, generally took the line ‘if you’re not fit you’re not fit and stay away’. Don’t want to upset insurance companies with added risk. Employers also not prepared to take on those who are disabled/special needs. Fix this first
Yeah. She's akin to an anti vaxxer. Really @BBCr4today what have you become? Are you not embarrassed by this? I mean it's Daily Fail rubbish
BBC Laura k “ Suzanne o Sullivan says this, do you agree Wes Streeting ? Yes I do” BBC today re SoS “ WES Streeting says this & suzanne agrees” Hmm, 2 personal opinions, with little supporting evidence. Poor timing of bbc amidst benefits controversy & around LC awareness day
We do need a complete shift - people's suffering needs to be acknowledged, and the diseases funded and treated to alleviate that suffering. Erasing diseases doesn't erase suffering.
The issue re neurodivergence is that it is medicalised and seen as abnormal . It is the attitudes to the diagnosis not the diagnosis that is the issue . It is not a disorder, it is different and can be wonderful !
![Leigh-Anne is asked about Little Mix’s “special” sisterhood and their recent support for Jesy Nelson following her twins’ SMA diagnosis: “We obviously all did reach out to her. I think she’s really incredible for spreading that awareness. [Regarding Little Mix’s sisterhood], I think that’s the special thing about us: we will always be there if we need each other. Especially obviously with me, Jade and Perrie, we’re super super close, and I think you need that in this industry. Knowing that you can reach out to people that are going through it too – we’re the only ones that know exactly what this experience is like – so to have that is so needed.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2030961056432914863/amplify_video_thumb/2030960833690324992/img/kjndbMEArm6Khowa.jpg)
![Right to Recovery Treatment evidence sessions in Scottish Parliament with Third Sector With You and The Salvation Army. What wording should replace “addiction” in the Bill to ensure people can access treatment without requiring a formal diagnosis? @GraemeCall78170 instead of answering his reply focuses on systemic access issues and the limitations of the Bill’s scope. Dr Sandesh Gulhane reminds him that the bill has narrow scope due to it not being a government bill and has to ask again about the use of the word addiction. Director of Addictions of The Salvation Armysays, "I think to give it a word or a title, it’s a really difficult thing". (Yes, its like a scene from the Ministry of Funny Walks) only none of this is funny, but deadly serious. Dr Sandesh Gulhane "Just on the point of addiction being used as a diagnosis, we heard from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, it was clear that perhaps the word addiction is not the right word to be used, and I'm sure that Douglas Ross, who is he member in charge of the bill, would be looking into that. So if we were to amend this because we need to say that you have something, not necessarily a diagnosis, but what is it that we should be saying in, in your opinion, as a way to have the right to have a treatment. Is it simply you would like to receive treatment or what exactly would you suggest?" @GraemeCall78170 "I think it for us, it's always been about access, right, so treatment is there. We recognise as an organisation we have a full clinical offer in England, not in Scotland, so we understand the importance of clinical process processes and in certain circumstances diagnosis is absolutely critical because there are other things that are going on, underlying mental health, underlying physical problems, so we completely recognise that. But the reality of the system is that people can't get access to the system, it's not about treatment. So services like ours here, all we do is we try and find ways to navigate the system to try and get people to where they need to be. But a lot of people that we engage with don't need a medical intervention, they dont. They just some mutual aid, some support, they need some practical stuff around their housing. So I think it's the disappointing thing as I read the bill as it was presented, it did feel narrow to me. I can't deny that. And I think it didn't reflect the experiences that we have as organisation." Dr Sandesh Gulhane "Being a member's bill it does need to be very narrow. It's not a government bill. If it was a government bill, that that's fair enough that this really does need to have enough scope. But my question was, what wording would you use in instead of a diagnosis of addiction? What wording would you like to see for people who do want to access treatment?" Lee Ball [Director of Addictions, Salvation Army] "For me, I think it's the person's right to want treatment. I think to give it a word or a title, it’s a really difficult thing. I don't envy your job trying to come up with a word for this because there are so many words that have so many different meanings."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1923046258106568839/amplify_video_thumb/1923045470848389120/img/LwHT-PKj8KCk_q4K.jpg)
