3/ I'm grateful to my close collaborator Alessandro Miola, our dedicated team at @mayoclinic.org Psychiatry, and my mentors Aysegul Ozerdem and Mark Frye. I also want to thank my mentor in residency Alp Ucok, who taught me the importance of early intervention and inspired my passion. 🌟

2/ Our findings support a transdiagnostic framework for more precise, tailored early interventions in mental health—guided by each subgroup’s unique trajectory. 🎯🧠✨

1/ Based on antecedent psychopathology—including symptoms, psychiatric diagnoses, substance use, and medication exposure—we identified three classes:
🧩 Neurodevelopmental
🌧️ Depressive-Anxious
🛡️ Minimal Psychiatric Morbidity

Are there unique pathways leading to a first episode of mania or psychosis? 🔍 Using latent class analysis, we identified 3 distinct antecedent trajectories. 📄 PDF: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...
