The stigma around taking anti-depressants is the most common response I get when talking with people with mental health conditions. Here I am about to start a PhD while taking heavy dosage SSRIs and sleeping tablets. I am no longer ashamed. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Hi. Beta blockers have been amazing for my anxiety. No it’s not a placebo. I don’t need a psychologist spreading paternalist and non evidenced based information on Twitter.

Oh yes the ‘natural’ route if only I had tried that before? Fellow people with mental health conditions: do not be ashamed for seeking medical support. Medication should not turn you into a zombie but if it does discuss this with your doctor.

#MyGPguide @Mental_Elf something that really helped me when I was having a tough time was my GP ringing me once a week. He did not have to do this- but it meant the world knowing that someone was there and I was not forgotten. Small differences can have a big impact.

Disabled academics exist. Yes in your field. Yes in your department. Yes, potentially even on your team. We notice when you say conference accessibility doesn't matter, when you say it's impossible for us to be researchers, when you say that it's okay if we die in a pandemic.
