📢 Our paper (my first PhD study!) on the association between bullying victimisation and adolescent mental health across national contexts is now published in the journal of European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry 🧵 [1/5] 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Combining networks and polygenic scores, this study shows polygenic scores for psychopathology traits associate with a restricted number of trait-relevant and cross-trait symptoms, replicated in an independent sample with preregistered analyses. ja.ma/3z1dwOc

Which specific mental health symptoms are associated with genetic risk? Answers in our new Jama Psychiatry paper led by Giulia Piazza in n=5521 with preregistered replication in n=4625. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Fantastic study Giulia Piazza and colleagues - congrats. Very interesting to see the links at symptom level and with non disorder-specific symptoms

🔽A new blog with Eiko Fried, Jon Roiser 🟣 and JB Pingault @AtCMAP on our recent paper combining polygenic scores and network analysis.

Pre-doc RA job in our NMH lab at UCL ICN with Oliver Robinson! Focusing on mechanisms of treatment in anxiety, a great opportunity to learn skills in mental health/neuroscience/computational research and work in a collaborative environment, deadline Aug 7th ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

🚨🌡️New pre-print on PsyArXiv! We conceptualise and investigate network temperature as a measure of longitudinal stability in depression symptom networks across adolescence... osf.io/preprints/psya… [1/9]

In a 3 cohort and 3 measure replication (ALSPAC Children of the 90s, #ABCDstudy, MCS UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies) we found: 1. Network temperature 'cooling' across adolescence indicating ⬆️ network stability and ⬇️ symptom variability (more alignment) with age ❄️ [5/9]

Is my depression the same as your depression? Network analysis finds individual variation in how symptoms aggravate each other over time buff.ly/3AcoXU3 Great blog by Giulia Piazza & Jon Roiser 🟣 on excellent study by Omid V. Ebrahimi et al in BJPsych Journals

enjoyed writing this blog with Giulia Piazza on a recent study describing individal symptom networks in depression Andrea Cipriani Omid V. Ebrahimi. Will be interesting to see how this develops and whether network structure is associated with response to interventions!

Excellent blog by Giulia Piazza & Jon Roiser 🟣 for The Mental Elf on our paper on depressive symptom dynamics and the need to improve clinical characterisation of mental disorders by taking into account their dynamic nature & the disorder evolution over time nationalelfservice.net/mental-health/…

Just out in Nature Human Behaviour 👇🏼👇🏼 We focused on the causes & impact of self-report error in the UK Biobank. We found that reporting error does not occur at random, is not independent of other participation behaviours, and can complicate the interpretation of genome-wide findings
