Fascinating new research from @tamsinford.bsky.social & colleagues which shows that CYP with psychiatric disorders now face more severe difficulties & functional impacts than in past surveys, "challenging the idea that ^ prevalence stems from over-medicalising mild symptoms" doi.org/10.1111/jcpp...

Brilliant evening listening to @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social discuss the value of listening to adolescents: Their youth doesn’t lessen their worth; they’re experts in their own lives. Engaging with them makes our work more relevant and impactful ⭐️

It’s been sad to witness the slow demise of X after joining in 2015 as a college student & now reflecting in 2024 as a PhD student. I’ve effectively grown up online 😅 I’m so grateful for the opportunities & connections I’ve made over the years & hope we can build an even better community here ⛅️

Mornin’! Been lurking in the background for a while and thought it was about time that I posted! Quick intro. I am passionate about improving young people’s mental health, and am setting up a mental health research network in schools across England (wisdom.mhid.org.uk). Happy to hear about you all!
