Is the link btwn Adolescent SSRI use & Bipolar Disorder causal?
Our study suggests: 𝐍𝐨.

@animesh92.bsky.social presented their meta-analysis of clinical high-risk and familial high-risk approaches for psychosis prediction. Findings revealed that each approach only accounted for ~7% of future psychotic disorders, highlighting the need for better predictive methods. 🧠📈🔍 #EMH2025

Adolescents hospitalised for non-psychotic disorders have a high risk of psychosis in adulthood. But do (attenuated) psychotic symptoms predict later psychotic illness? The answer isn’t necessarily what you might expect…

New research shows >50% of specialist adult mental health service use comes from former #CAMHS patients
We need early intervention in childhood to change these poor long-term outcomes
That's why we need much more research on mental illness prevention in #CAMHS
