#PTSD symptomatology can be found in up to a third of parents with a high-risk infant in the #NICU. Untreated PTSD can have long-term effects for the parent and impact parent-child attachment and development. Routine PTSD screening for parents during and after NICU stay benefits parent + baby.

The US abruptly deported a doctor. The resources that went into her medical training are immense. Patients need these highly skilled services. Like many countries, the US has a physician shortage. This directly affects patients. Unbelievable.

Once again want to remind everyone to please share with your communities the new #Medsky misinformation labeler, which is meant to target and prevent the spread of misinformation. This thread provides instructions on how to appropriately report misinfo.

#PTSD and related trauma responses are not uncommon after an ICU stay. It can occur regardless of otherwise favorable outcomes. Awareness and screening supports patients' overall health. #MedSky #PsychSky #Skychiatry

Private equity is indeed "like a cancer" in the US healthcare system, leading to direct patient harm. Stripping services to the bone to save money, not patients. A warning of the risks of privatization of healthcare and the devaluation of medical expertise. #MedSky #healthcare

For my fellow ACT therapists There are some nice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy metaphors adapted for insomnia in this paper. #PsychSky #TherapistSky

When I was in training, a psychologist shared an important insight into why someone may harm others without a second thought. Sometimes it is fear or turning inward due to sadness or overwhelm... But there are also people who view other human beings as objects, and will treat them as objects.

Unacceptable; science and evidence-based public health practice should *not* be partisan matters.

Hands up everyone who zooms in on every picture posted with a bookshelf in the background to check out the books

Devastating read. #medsky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This is a resource from the #WHO and one I often include during presentations on #traumaticstress Though designed for refugees and displaced ppl, it covers stress management using an acceptance & commitment therapy approach Translations in other languages too #PsychSky #TherapistSky

I treat survivors of trauma, some of which is beyond imagining. Let me be clear. Gestures of oppression and hate are intended to instill fear and perpetuate the horrors tied to them. A gesture of hate is active participation in harm to other human beings. It is violence.

Pleased to share our new paper, led by Kevin Saulnier: Suicide Risk Among Veterans Who Receive Evidence-Based Therapy for PTSD jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Institutional betrayal occurs when institutions align with an individual or group commiting harm, rather than respond to meaningfully protect those who depend on it (patients, other Drs and HCWs). It magnifies harms and creates disenfranchised #trauma and #moralinjury. #PsySky #MedSky
