Based on not just one but three ongoing discussions I want to write down a few things I, based on my professional and other experience, consider truths. Relevant background: I am a child psychiatrist working in children and youth community level mental health services. I hold a PhD in data analysis. I've dabbled in practical epidemiology. I am a parent. My values can be described as left liberal. I am NOT a psychotherapist. Welcome to my not-TED talk that will go on for some hours probably. 0/🧵
