Have you ever wondered how to harmonize measures of emotional and behavioral problems from different cohorts, the impact of item selection, matching strategies and how similar harmonized scores are with the original models? The #RBC have these answers 👇🧶 reprobrainchart.github.io/do…

🔊A new systematic review in @BMJMentalHealth (Rømer et al., 2026) finds:
- Only 11.6% of recommendations are backed by high-level #evidence
- Most rely on downgraded or limited #data
- #Drug #treatments have the strongest support
Bottom line: We need better-quality #trials & more up-to-date #guidelines to improve #mentalhealth #care.

Let’s make a deal at a grand bargain between the two sides that hate each other so much. The Left will quash all their loony woke shit, and the Right will stop the slide into autocracy.

Estudo aponta que troca de turno não é a solução para alunos com dificuldade de atenção acentuada. Desempenho na manhã é consistentemente mais baixo para todos e turno da tarde só impulsiona o rendimento de #estudantes com poucos ou nenhum sintoma de #TDAH agencia.fapesp.br/55484

New comment in NHB by Farid Anvari, me and friends arguing that psychology is fragmented into the study of too many constructs and measures with too few links.

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”.

Lifestyle is a stronger predictor of aging and mortality than genetics.
A new Nature study of ~500,000 people found:
🎯 17% of mortality variation was linked to lifestyle (exposome).
🧬 <2% of was explained by genetics.

Jair Bolsonaro de volta ao poder sem eleição e sem data pra sair: essa podia ser a realidade do Brasil hoje. A nossa sorte é que o líder desse plano era um político com uma trajetória consistente de fracasso e incompetência. Que Jair Bolsonaro tenha o amplo direito de defesa que ele nunca daria a um adversário!

How does where we live – urban, rural, or in-between – relate to our mental health? 🌆🏞️
In this cross-national study, we investigate the links between urbanicity, anxiety & depressive disorders in 500,000 adults across the UK, Norway, and New Zealand 🧵

Me and @DrKlintwall have been working on an app that will allow participants to interactively build networks of perceived causal relations.
I’ve put together a demo website, that I’m soft-launching while we continue to pilot the app

Important call for dimensional approaches to #mentalhealth, eg RDoC or #HiTOP, also addressing environmental & temporal factors at #EPAPsyEpi24. Thanks for the great keynote on the future of Psychiatric #Epidemiology Kathleen Merikangas!
