I’m furious & heartbroken.
Just saw an ‘antistigma’ ad on schizophrenia from @MHReformVic & @VicGovDH.
This is NOT reform.
It’s more of the same dishonest medicalisation theories & false claims that hospitals are great.
I’m in tears.

In the ad I saw, a person literally says these experiences are ‘biochemical reactions in my brain’.
What?! That’s just not true. The brain chemistry theory is well & truly busted as myth.
How do we have govt ads making these claims? Is anyone doing basic fact checks?

Then we hear how meds really helped this guy. Hospital was great!
I guess this reform is going to ignore the police violence, rape, solitary confinement, detention, force & trauma reported to the royal commission?
For all of us abused in the psych system, this is cruel.
