What they believe
-
When supply of most treatments in a care system is constrained, overuse concentrates on the few treatments that remain easily available, rather than reflecting excess care overall.
The problem with medical and psychiatric care is not necessarily that we do too much but that we do too much of some things because we have constrained the supply of all the other things.

Mental-health treatments remain highly imperfect tools that are increasingly relied on in situations where their use isn't truly necessary.
We have highly imperfect tools at our disposal, and more and more we rely on these tools in situations where their use is less-than-necessary.

When a patient has ready access to a full range of options, then medication becomes one tool among many, chosen deliberately, not defaulted to out of desperation.

Their words
It is relatively easy to ask for and be prescribed medications, but quite difficult to see a physician who actually cares and listens and thoughtfully attends to diagnostic work-up and treatment risks and patient concerns.

Their words
When we start treating weak norms of consultation as strong norms, when we assign preemptive authority in areas where only contributory authority is justified, when we destroy traditional cultural means of support to shunt people into medical treatment, we erode people's capacity to meet suffering with the resources they already have or could have had outside medicine.

In providing care, there are no ideological sides — only the patient and what actually helps them.Their words
When it comes to providing care that helps patients, there are no sides. There is only the patient; the illness or disorder disrupting the patient's life and the lives of loved ones; and, in the case of mental illness and infectious disease, the question of whether that illness adversely affects the broader community.

I Believe in a Radical Abundance of Relational Care Said 26 Sept 2026
In healthcare systems, it is easier to obtain a prescription than to get attentive, thorough clinical care from a physician.
It is relatively easy to ask for and be prescribed medications, but quite difficult to see a physician who actually cares and listens and thoughtfully attends to diagnostic work-up and treatment risks and patient concerns.
I Believe in a Radical Abundance of Relational Care Said 26 Sept 2026
When patients have access to a full range of treatment options, medication becomes one deliberate choice among many rather than a default fallen into out of desperation.

Maybe Don’t Ask Your Doctor if Zoloft Is Right for You Said 19 Sept 2026
No approach to mental healthcare exceeds being highly imperfect, and anyone claiming otherwise is dishonest or mistaken.

Maybe Don’t Ask Your Doctor if Zoloft Is Right for You Said 19 Sept 2026
Treating optional, contributory medical authority as mandatory and overriding erodes people's capacity to cope with suffering through non-medical means.
When we start treating weak norms of consultation as strong norms, when we assign preemptive authority in areas where only contributory authority is justified, when we destroy traditional cultural means of support to shunt people into medical treatment, we erode people's capacity to meet suffering with the resources they already have or could have had outside medicine.

The DSM's revision process has no consistent standard for when practical or political consequences should be allowed to override the available evidence.
There is no consistency, no respect for evidence, no clear bar for when downstream implications matter and when they don't.
Postpartum Psychosis and Diagnostic Sclerosis Said 4 Sept 2026

I do not believe that DSM deserves the respect and authority we bestow on it.
Postpartum Psychosis and Diagnostic Sclerosis Said 4 Sept 2026
Restructuring the DSM's chapter organization to add categories like a postpartum chapter is blocked only by self-imposed rules and conventions, not by any deeper constraint.
The only thing stopping the DSM is a bunch of self-imposed rules and conventions.

The Rumpelstiltskin effect claims only that the act of being diagnosed can itself help, not that a diagnosis is a net good for the patient.
The Rumpelstiltskin effect is not a claim that receiving a diagnosis is a net benefit or a net positive. It is a claim that the mere act of receiving a diagnosis can be beneficial.
The Principle of Rumpelstiltskin: Psychiatrists and Witchdoctors Said 25 Jul 2026
A prescriber cannot outsource containment to the therapy hour: the emotional and relational dynamics are part of prescribing, not an intrusion on it.

Clinical diagnosis can have a therapeutic effect independent of any other intervention.
Their experiences highlight a striking, neglected and unchristened medical phenomenon: The therapeutic effect of a clinical diagnosis, independent of any other intervention, where clinical diagnosis refers to situating the person's experiences into a clinical category by a clinician or the patient.
The Rumpelstiltskin effect: therapeutic repercussions of clinical diagnosis (with 1 co-authors) Said 22 Aug 2025
Diagnoses that have therapeutic effects are medical interventions and should be treated and researched as such.
If a clinical diagnosis can have a therapeutic effect, then, at least in some instances, diagnoses are medical interventions in themselves and ought to be treated and researched as such, with an eye to both positive effects and potential iatrogenic harms.
The Rumpelstiltskin effect: therapeutic repercussions of clinical diagnosis (with 1 co-authors) Said 22 Aug 2025
Self-diagnosis is an attempt to secure the therapeutic effect of a medical intervention patients cannot officially access.
Likewise, self-diagnosis should be understood as an attempt to secure the therapeutic effect of a medical intervention to which patients do not have official access.
