Giving testimony for the science and/or the public

Dear friends,

 

I’m sure I’m not the only one asking this question, but are you familiar with any way for us to share our personal experience for researching purposes or public awareness?

 

Perhaps to a University, or a psychology magazine, or a radio program… in the U.K., or globally?

 

I was thinking of how invaluable it would be for the world to be aware of what we’re going through, and the more the better. I personally would be more than happy to share my own if that may incite any change, which I’m sure there would be if people were more aware of the possible outcomes of taking antidepressants/benzodiazepines/mood regulators…
 

I’m sharing my personal experience along with what I’ve learnt in this forum so far with as many as I can, but there’s only so much one can reach to.

 

I send you all my love and tons of reassurance that you will get better. It is slow and painful, but you definitely will. Just treat yourself with care and compassion while you do 💗
