Had to turn the radio off this morning because of another bloody vox-pop using ARE CHILDRENS MENTAL ELF to beat the "open everything up" drum. I'm working in CAMHS at the moment and can confirm that, yes, it is bad, kids are going nuts with isolation and anxiety and there's probably going to be a surge in school avoidance when they do open up, but ffs just carrying on the cycle of "back to normal, oops another lockdown" is going to be even worse.Regarde Aduck posted:Can’t the average gp just prescribe medication while waiting for the official diagnosis? They can prescribe other mental health meds. Technically they can (there's no legal restriction on it, even if they're Controlled drugs) but most GPs are going to be reluctant to prescribe medication for a difficult-to-diagnose condition on the basis of a 10-minute consultation, especially if that medication has street value, especially if you're going to be on it for years while waiting for a formal diagnosis. ADHD meds are far from risk-free, they can have lots of physical and mental side effects and you have to be very careful if there's any suggestion of heart disease. Hence the vast majority of GPs will want to wait for a specialist opinion. It's heartening to see more people being aware of ADHD, but I do worry that the discourse I've seen (in other places! not saying anyone here is saying this) sometimes strays into "well if it's so obvious to this random internet stranger that I might have it, why won't my stupid doctor just give me the amphetamines" but it really isn't that simple. The answer, of course, would be to fund mental health services better which I'm sure will happen any day now

Haha yeah just came to post that^^ It's because it's a total decorum show "why yes he is the Prime Minister and that is accorded to the Prime Minister, never mind who he or she is". The rules say it's good. As usual, libs and melts never understand they are the only losers who think these rules matter.

The gently caress does "supporting the PM on his trip to scotland" even mean? Is he opening for him? Is he doing the catering? Is he generally approving of unionism, is he just desperate to nosh the fucker off or something? He can get to scotland on his own he's the loving PM he doesn't need "support"

Who am I kidding this is British politics of course everybody is still parroting the misread statistic and ignoring the noise of screaming statistics professors in the background.

For those who had missed the ONS teachers thing there's a thread here: https://twitter.com/SarahDRasmussen/status/1343639143868493824 And I see the statistics regulator has finally advised the ONS to stop loving up. Bit late now though after 4 months of government ministers, SAGE(!), the devolved governments, opposition politicians and even certain posters in this thread repeating it as fact.

I consistently test high on IQ tests but have left the house more than once in odd shoes. Like not even "oh I have two pairs of black trainers and accidentally crossed them", once it was one trainer and one desert boot.

I've never had an IQ test but I just tell everyone up front that I'm an idiot and they assume I'm joking and must actually be smart as hell. It's worked for years now.

https://twitter.com/HowUpsetting/status/1354738522234744832?s=20 Jeremy Corbyn isn't leader of the opposition & isn't even a Labour MP any more and the Jewish Chronicle are still absolutely loving off the deepend. Straight up adopting recognised antisemitic tropes as truth.

People are terrified about their kids. Their education and, for the younger ones, basic social development. My three year-old niece has barely interacted with another child for all of her life that she can remember. Not saying we should open schools immediately or anything (that would be a disaster), but people vocalising their fear really isn't just idiots who want to go back to the pub and Tories who want money number to go up.

My three year-old niece has barely interacted with another child for all of her life that she can remember. I don't blame parents at all for being exhausted and worried about the situation, it's hosed up. it was the juxtaposition of anxious parents with Sensible Concerned Conservative MPs (can't remember who) to make a clear implication that schools should reopen (in that irritating deniable BBC way) that pissed me off. I don't know it it's selective listening on my part, but it feels like all the news I've seen lately has been building consent for throwing things open again ASAP, because that worked so well last time.

Much of my concern comes from the belief that the calls to reopen schools are based on a desire for the grinding gears of capitalism to keep going for the sake of THE ECONERMY rather than genuine concern over the welfare of children. I feel this view is at least partially validated by the Government clearly not giving a poo poo about children being actively abused, starving, or literally burning to death in dangerous housing (i.e. things which also relate to child welfare but do not make number go up)

My three year-old niece has barely interacted with another child for all of her life that she can remember. Yep. My daughter is five (nearly six) and we've started having a few illicit "accidental" meet-ups in local parks with friends because we can see how badly not seeing other children for most of the past year is effecting her. Nearly all of her friends are either blagging key worker parent status and going to various settings or have siblings so are getting at least that much child interaction. For us it's just mum, dad and granny (living on her own and bubbled with us.) Her small friend who lives four doors down the street is only three and yesterday when our daughter told her she was her best friend she stopped and looked confused and then sadly said "I don't have any other friends." Heartbreaking. (She actually does because she went to kindergarten in The Before Times but when you're three and you've not seen someone for a few months they might as well not exist.)
