Paradigm shifting work regarding risk for psychosis via @camhnews in @JAMAPsych Nearly 75% of youth who present with a first episode of psychosis have previously presented for mental health care. Psychosis prevention may happen thru effective treatment of antecedent conditions.
In this study of individuals w/ a first diagnosis of a psychotic disorder, most had used mental health services in the prior 3 years, w/ higher proportions across all services, compared w/ a matched group of individuals first diagnosed with mood disorders. ja.ma/4eks4YW

Very excited about this crucial first step toward ensuring every young Canadian (and their family) can receive high quality, comprehensive, early psychosis care. Time for us to pay attention to severe mental illness, and give everyone the chance for hope and recovery.
CAMH & @HSO_world were awarded funding by the Standards Council of Canada to develop standards + best practices for Early #Psychosis Intervention in #Canada.
People with lived experience and field professionals are invited to review the report.

"...while those with developmental disabilities had the highest level of severe food insecurity." It is hard to focus on improving health care when ppl w developmental disabilities can't pay for the basic things they need.
New @StatCan_eng report reveals more than 1 in 4 people with disabilities live in a food insecure household. We already know caregivers experience added financial hardship. People with disabilities + their families urgently need more support #CdnCaregiving bit.ly/3MhnUEI

Grateful for this @CIHR_IRSC Award to study genomic/pharmacogenomic factors contributing risk for difficult-to-treat (or treatment-resistant) major depressive disorder (MDD).
Study participants @CAMHnews with MDD will obtain evidence-based, state-of-the-art pharmacogenetic testing to rule out drug metabolism 'abnormalities' as they are followed up in a measurement-based care program.
This elaborated strategy will provide the best possible care and advance the transition into a new era of #PrecisionMedicine for individuals affected with MDD.
CAMH is proud to announce that we have received award funding as part of the CIHR (@CIHR_IRSC) Project Grant Spring 2024 competition, for a total of $4,686,177!

#PrideMonth is not only a time to celebrate 2SLGBTQ+ communities, but a call for more equitable policies. Too many 2SLGBTQ+ people experience homelessness. This blog by @maurienejean and @rishika_w proposes solutions. #healthequity wellesleyinstitute.com/housi…

Incredibly important discovery in @NatureComms led by Neil Vasdev of @camhnews, reporting on synthesis of a new radioligand that binds non-AD tau in the brain. Huge promise for early diagnosis of CTE, and prevention of downstream consequences.

The Toronto ecosystem has many great hospitals but we can take care of patients better and strengthen our health system & innovation by uniting around common causes. Child & youth mental health is a crucial cause that will benefit from this @SickKidsNews & @camhnews partnership.
Today, CAMH, @SickKidsNews and @SickKidsCCMH signed a new memorandum of understanding to align our services and ensure that child, youth, and family experiences & outcomes are at the centre of our care systems.

Amazing leadership by @camhnews & @UofT scientist Neil Vasdev landing @MitacsCanada funding that will support a program of training for the next gen of neuro-radiochemists. The radioligands they develop could help transform early diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders.
We’re thrilled to share that CAMH and @UofT have received a $3M grant from @MitacsCanada to advance and commercialize radiopharmaceutical technologies for health care, and train a new generation of scientists & clinicians. 🙏
