People Are Stumbling From One Misguided Narrative About the Medical Model to Another The medical model in context

“I don’t particularly like the term “ #MedicalModel.” It takes something diverse and dynamic—the theory & practice of #medicine —and turns it into something circumscribed, fixed, and static.”: buff.ly/7ZiAOjJ

MAKE NO MISTAKE.

When the Administration puts the Drug Addiction and Mental Health Institutes into a Behavioral Health Institute .....

They are classifying addiction and mental illness as moral weaknesses, not neurological conditions.

This is going backwards.

Why the World of Mental Health is Changing The old model of mental health is broken, but a bold new approach is reshaping how we understand and support human well-being.

" #MentalHealthcare has leaned heavily on a #MedicalModel ..We called this " #diagnosis," but what we really meant was classification. The problem? These categories don’t map well onto the actual complexity of #HumanBeings.": buff.ly/8Wjefs4

“…we really need some sort of a People’s Diagnostic Manual because the correct diagnosis isn’t that I’m depressed, it’s that the pathologies of neoliberal capitalism hurt people rated as not having any value….”

Spot on. Tis the difference between the #MedicalModel and the #SocialModel of disability

#Neurodivergence #medicalModel

We pathologise diversity when it's modern industrialised society that is self-evidently maladaptive, yet unable to accommodate historically prevalent departures from the relatively recent but intolerant factory template.

The value of #SocialPrescribing is it's #Accessibility & focus on use of #Community, it's great for #SignPosting & moving the focus away from the #MedicalModel BUT is there an empirical way of quantifying its worth & outcomes, or is it 'just' a conduit???
