[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, didn't Tyler Black have some twitter thread recently where he was arguing that CANADIAN suicides went down during lockdown, and therefore there was no mental health crises among children?  I get that he's a "suicidologist" so maybe he can ONLY see things through the lens of completed suicides, but he ignores the findings of suicide ATTEMPTS (that may or may not have led to hospital intervention).  As well as allllllll of the other literature on mental health impacts that aren't related to suicide.[/quote]

Well, he’s a Canadian child and adolescent psychiatrist and is clinical head of the child and adolescent psychiatry emergency department at British Columbia’s children’s hospital. He’s also a clinical child psychiatry instructor at the University of BC. Seems a lot more qualified to comment on children’s mental health than the urgency of normal people.

DP, but then why does he confound presentation at the hospital with children’s mental health, during a pandemic when it’s documented that people are NOT going to the hospital for non-COVID reasons?  Plenty of physicians are poor researchers, are attention-seeking, insecure, etc.  He may well have good intentions, but I’m not impressed with what I’ve seen thus far.  I have a PhD myself and have worked with way too many physicians and scientists to trust them all based solely on their credentials and current jobs.[/quote]
