@SenadHasanagic1 @SameiHuda It strikes me the problem lies in the distinction between what has been characterised, and what exists in reality.
A large number of persons have reported, and characterised, common withdrawal experience.
It has not been accepted because it doesn't meet existing characterisation

@SenadHasanagic1 @SameiHuda So why, instead of embracing the challenge of understanding & characterising an unanticipated phenomenon, widely reported, is there arrogant resistance to acknowleging or characterising it?
I see two eminent physicians scoffing, instead of helping.

@SenadHasanagic1 @SameiHuda There is also the backdrop of "psychosis": an inherently deficit based construct at the intersection of crisis & neurodivergence.
Why assume its construction under a medical model?
In a society pledged to implement the human rights model of disability?

@SenadHasanagic1 @SameiHuda At this juncture, we are supposed to be unpacking and re-examining the preconceptions of intergenerational predjudice that have led to neurodivergence being categorised as a flaw to eliminate rather than diversity to embrace.
@SenadHasanagic1 @SameiHuda With Western Lapland's superior results (according to any metrics) c.f. traditional western psychiatry, the argument that assumes "there must be a balance between health and human rights" falls down
Even without considering whether it should fall on philosophical grounds.

@SenadHasanagic1 @SameiHuda So why are you scoffing at fledgling attempts to characterise withdrawal effects when discontinuing a psychoactive drug, by assuming the appropriateness of established charactisations that didn't anticipate withdrawal, when we should be questioning the preconceptions underlying
@SenadHasanagic1 @SameiHuda characterisation of the condition that implied use of the psychoactive drug was a good idea?
What is your motivation for choosing this attitude?
Simply aversions to change?
Or preferring the ease of habit, over the challenge of charting unchartered ground?
