Emeritus Prof Christopher May
@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us  ·  activity timestamp last week

Wes Streeting acting on his suspicions that mental health disorders are 'over diagnosed' has ordered a review into potential over-diagnosis led by clinical psychologist Prof. Peter Fonagy.

One can only hope that Fonagy will resist ministerial pressure to find frequent over-diagnosis as a way of justifying a cut in welfare support for those with mental health conditions.

Otherwise its just more victim blaming in a dysfunctional society...
