Huge thanks to my magnificent medical students wechildrencare for driving this youth project🌱 Taking on a school-based intervention is no small feat, but you handled the near-peer facilitation with such empathy and grace 💚👏 #CINP2026 #youthMentalHealth #MedEd #Psychiatry – at Glasgow, Scotland

GAD is a common disorder inadequately researched and treated. Congrats to my colleagues, who have highlighted the high level of treatment switching and dissatisfaction in this patient population. Clearly a need for new therapeutics.

🧠💪 NEW RESEARCH: Group CBT for young people's mental health!
A study of 136 youth (12-24 years) found that group-based, low-intensity CBT significantly improved quality of life and future outlook - especially effective for younger age ≤18 and females.🌟
✅ Better mindfulness = less anxiety
✅ Higher self-esteem = better wellbeing
✅ Community-friendly approach

Our new meta-analysis published in World Psychiatry shows that depression is associated with 2-fold increased risk of mortality but the mortality risk was reduced among those treated with antidepressants.

💭 Why do people with depression die younger🥺and what can change that? Our new paper @kwunnamchan @corinesmwong @hkumed (World Psychiatry 24:3) shows just how big that gap is — and points toward treatment. #MentalHealth #Depression
