1/2 Press release @UniLeidenNews about our upcoming JoPACS paper led by @b_siepe, showing that the overlap of similar constructs assessed via wearable vs EMA data is surprisingly low (n~850, 3 months). universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025/0…

New study in @BMJMentalHealth 👇🏼 Many teens with serious mental health symptoms aren’t getting help. In Norway, only ~30% of girls & ~20% of boys with high symptom loads saw a GP despite a 9x higher risk of mental health diagnoses. Parental education didn’t change this. 📄 Study:…

Min flickvän får betydligt mer spännande reklamerbjudanden än undertecknad. Med det sagt bör ni inte slösa era pengar på sådant som i bästa fall är gigantiska överdrifter.
Very much looking forward to our Forensic Research Nottingham Summer Symposium next week, on afternoon of Friday 18th July, in person @InstituteMH. Great lineup of talks from @PamelaJaneTayl1 @MayuDeshp and @simonshackett. Come along institutemh.org.uk/events/event/2…
Psychedelic science largely ignored problem of unblinding, dramatically inflating effect sizes (not even *assessed* in most studies). New study: psychedelics don't outperform antidepressants in fair comparison where both studies are unblinded. osf.io/preprints/psya…

So no need for pesky things. Like formal assessments and exams. Sweet!
🕰️ What is Temporal Drift? Data that clinical prediction models face when implemented can differ from the data they were trained on, even in the same setting. This can be due to changing patients, treatments or practices The result? The model’s predictions start to go wrong.

In February, I saw @michaelbrowni19 present the results of PAX-D, a randomised controlled trial of pramipexole in treatment-resistant depression Like many in the audience, I was blown away by the results (link in bio)
“Shocking results”😱 and it’s just d=.05
Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media. This was the largest study on emotional health in history. The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy." Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm: 🧵
Somewhat to my surprise, a new systematic review of the suicide assessment model, OxMIS, is just out. We developed OxMIS as a risk model to complement clinical assessment in schizophrenia-spectrum disorder or bipolar disorder at any point in their treatment pathway
Why are so many people with psychosis missed before their first episode? We studied over 1,500 patients to find out whether those missed by early intervention services show different early signs. Here’s what we found. 🧵👇
🧵THREAD: Our new study published in #lancetpsych! We found that pramipexole augmentation substantially reduced depressive symptoms in patients with treatment-resistant depression over 48 weeks of treatment. This is an important advance in how we treat depression! 1/6
