Also check out 10:50-11:30 on the effect of the “us and them” on outcomes for people accessing services.
...and 15:09-16:10 on "The Clinician's Illusion" in mental health and it's impact on how we perceive the possibility of people living their best lives.
A thread on, as ever, #mentalhealthstigma, because that's still a major thing, and current events have highlighted a familiar, and deeply frustrating, aspect of it that really needs to be addressed.

He's also been praised a lot recently for opening up about his struggles with depression, which, given his profile and how he got it, is fair enough
