Very helpful thread, thank you.
Brilliant analysis by @morgan_alastair 👏🏻
The only book I’ve read by him is The Divided Self, that too a decade ago, and I found it very thought-provoking (& would recommend). The rest has been secondary literature etc.
“Acute Religious Experiences: Madness, Psychosis and Religious Studies” by Richard Saville-Smith (@DrAnamorphosis ) is available for purchase on Kindle. A thought-provoking book that deserves to be read widely in psy-sciences as well as religious studies.
Exciting work by @shansiddiqi et al in @NatMentHealth showing that MS lesions associated with depression are related to a brain network that has previously been identified using stroke lesions and therapeutic modulation sites.

“I would be disabled differently under socialism.” @shengokai 👇🏽very interesting thread and conversation about ADHD, disability, and capitalism
