Looking for peer reviewers
Hi everyone,
We find it critical to get our content peer reviewed to ensure the information on SANE is helpful.
Recently we created a series of 'Fact vs Myth' factsheets and we want to hear from you what you think of them.
Fact vs myth: mental illness basics
Fact vs myth: treatment & recovery
Fact vs myth: mental illness & violence
Fact vs myth: specific disorders
We would like to know -
· Is the information easy to read and understand?
· Is there any language that is jarring?
· Is there anything missing that you would like to know about?
· Anything else that occurs to you.
You don't have to give us feedback on all of them - only the ones you feel comfortable with and you feel are relevant to you.
Any feedback is appreciated!!!

Re: Looking for peer reviewers
Hi @NikNik
I am really interested in this - I will read the info in the links and comment later - I feel that right now isn't going to work - but definitely - I will refer to those items I feel I can give feedback on really soon
We really do need peer support review - it is all over the forums but then - we need to be more specific
As a person who has had most of their suffering in the past I identify with what younger people are posting now - been there - a life time of all sorts of anguish - yes - and my biggest contribution is silent - but I am still here today - surviving my own life is my biggest contribution
I will get back to you on what I can't read atm - I feel it's time to do something else off line right now - but I will catch up
Decadian

Hi @NikNik
I have read all the fact sheets as well as the the referenced studies. The fact sheets present well with a measured and factual approach.
Congratulations to the SANE team for producing these in an easy to understand manner.

Re: Looking for peer reviewers
Re: Mental Illness basics
I like the way probablilities and the word "predisposition" are used.
The statement about creativity ... debunking romanticisation of very painful disorders is a good inclusion as is the statement about it being REAL and not due to laziness or poor spirituality..
Re: MH & Recovery
Hopeful stance re treatment and getting help is important.
Statement re snapping out of it and judgements rather than treatment is also needed. I hope some counsellors read it. That it is based in physiology and the body but choosing not to use the "genetic" word is good. Genetics is such a new science we have to be careful about inaccurate and ignorant generalisations.
The Personalised Medicine approach is also needed.
Re: MH & Violence
I like no-nonsense headline distinguishing the word "psychotic" & "violence". and the truth that a lot of mental illness is more about being a victim than a perpetrator.
Re: Specific Disorders
I have probably said I am a little OCD ... as there was a huge impetus in our family to normalise MH issues. My stepdaughter used the OCD tag a lot .. I am now aware that my use of the term in an offhand way could be hurtful & insulting to those reading the forum, who serious suffer with the disorder. Sorry, I will try and change my use of term.
