🚨 Preprint 🚨 SSRI #antidepressant users report on whether drugs ‘helped’ them. In @uk_biobank’s 2nd Mental Health Q, - 20k respondents reported on - 4 SSRI antidepressants, answering ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to whether specific drugs helped What do these reports capture? 1/7
🗺️The Atlas of Longitudinal Datasets, our all-new @wellcometrust-funded research platform designed to increase the discoverability of longitudinal data across the world, is almost ready to launch! Sign up to be invited to our exclusive launch webinar -> landscaping-longitudinal-research.com/webinar
New paper from Julian Mutz extending his metabolic aging clocks to examine whether people with mental disorders show differences in metabolomic ageing.
We just published a new preprint on biological ageing in individuals with mental and behavioural disorders 🧵Using data from >225,000 @uk_biobank participants, we investigated differences in metabolomic ageing associated with 45 mental disorders
Excellent clear summary of our recent @PGCgenetics MDD genetics paper (bipolar paper summary to come)
