I'm very excited to announce the launch of a survey with Maastricht University on antipsychotic medication withdrawal. I'm working with Dr. Jim van Os, Dr. John Read, and Dr. Sandra Escher on this international survey, just released in English with translations to additional languages coming soon. - Will Hall
I am life. I am psychedelic. I am kaleidoscopic. I am conscious. I am aware. I am silence. I am chaos. Â The term bipolar *disorder* attempts to diminish. Two poles?

So I did a quick process to change my state, the process that has worked the best for me with states like worthlessness, helplessness, or hopelessness (what I consider to be the core of depression). ...
I often say about the voice I use in my work that I'm speaking as an empowered patient (rather than the professional I also am), but the fact is I'm speaking as a vulnerable human being -- that which every seven billion of us are if we allow ourselves to be honest. We must rid our imaginations of artificial hierarchies. ...
The catch - 22 I thought about the other day: The mental health system tells clients/patients/consumers that they need better boundaries while expecting them to ignore their boundaries.
