Duty To Warn 🔉 @duty2warn · 6h
If you had a stuffed drain, you'd call a plumber. If you needed heart surgery, you'd want that done by a cardiac surgeon. Psychology, behaviorism, and the study of mental health are sciences. Mental health professionals are experts. Part of the consequences we've endured, are because this science has been ignored or disrespected.
Way back when the Duty to Warn Coalition was first formed, our initial act was to create a petition FROM mental health professionals TO Congress, asking them to enact or consider lobbying for the enactment of the 25th Amendment. 75,000 professionals signed on to the petition. It was sent to Congress.
Not a peep. Not even an acknowledgment of receipt. Not an invitation to meet or speak privately. Not an inquiry, asking: "Why do you doctors feel that way?"
Nobody's asking why now.
