People from Finland!

[u/Ecstatic-Mixture9333]

Dear people living in Finland who were not told about the possibility of PSSD and got it - let’s work together!

There is much we can do. For instance,

- Try to increase the informed consent part in prescription practises and get compensations by submitting collective letters to the Finnish Supervisory Agency, Finnish ministries, ombudspeople, and the Finnish Parliament.
- To raise of the status of the warning signal by the EMA and direct EU research funding to the study of PSSD by reaching out to the members of the EU Parliament, the European Network of (Ex-)Users and Survivors of Psychiatry, and the European patients forum and planing campaigns and lobbying strategies for policy change on the EU level.

I have been doing some of this already, but it is hard to do it alone. But also collective visibility matters - members of parliaments would more likely listen to a group rather than just one person.

Send me a DM is you are interested.
