Note: This is an OG episode of BFTB. For some of my older episodes, I’ve decided to archive them and make them available only for Premium Submarines. Enjoy this throwback episode.Original episode description: If you identify with the symptoms of borderline personality disorder (also known as BPD or EUPD), it’s likely you’ve heard of “splitting.” Splitting is a defense mechanism that causes a person to view something or someone in ‘black and white’ terms (i.e., “all good” or “all bad.)

from coercion to consent: WHO and UN say psychiatry must change entirely
Uncover the seismic shift in global mental health perspectives as we delve into the newest groundbreaking WHO and UN Guidance that challenges the very foundations of contemporary psychiatry, exposing the routine violation of international human rights in mental health practices worldwide. Join me as we navigate the key revelations—psychiatry's overreliance on the biomedical model, the emphasis on detention and involuntary treatment, and the exclusion of individuals with mental disorders from decision-making. Together, we’ll discover how the Guidance advocates for a fundamental shift toward a human-centered, rights-based, and community-driven psychiatry. This episode unravels the clash between established psychiatric norms and the inexorable call for change, providing insight into a potential revolution in the field of mental health. Tune in to explore the powerful forces shaping the future of psychiatric practices and the profound implications for mental health legislation worldwide.
