Is CBT equally effective across all mental disorders?

This unified meta-analysis looked at 375 RCTs & nearly 33,000 people with 11 different diagnoses.

Spoiler: it’s not a one-size-fits-all therapy. 🧠

I have some clinical experience of this: an autistic girl whose neurodiverse friendship group reportedly became 'obsessed' with role-playing therapist/patient at school and would also 'compete' over who was most 'mentally unwell'). But anecdotes don't=data; as ever, more research needed!

The perfect person to speak about this @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social is @marialoades.bsky.social who I think I recall recently ran a neat study that looked at exactly this issue.

Thank you so much Lucy, that would be wonderful 🙏

Eleanor Chatburn @eleanorchats.bsky.social · Mar 28

Lots of debate about the potential harms of universal school interventions but we've barely scratched the surface of considering what this might look like in low-resource settings where mental health support outside of schools may not exist. Anyone researching these issues, please do connect!

Dr Lucy Foulkes @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social · Mar 27

All the negative effects to date have been found in high-income countries.

There is an interesting question here about whether there might be a kind of Goldilocks effect where, when awareness is low/stigma is high (like in some LMIC schools), then universal interventions are helpful...

Eleanor Chatburn @eleanorchats.bsky.social · Mar 28

Lots more to ponder on this idea for sure! (Lucy, do you happen to have a contact email for the event please? The registration link on that page and in the programme is broken)

Mixed methods are super popular in mental health right now but there are unfortunately many systemic barriers to using this approach.

We were inspired to write this piece to help researchers to overcome these challenges and as a call to action for institutions, funders, and journal editors⬇️

NEW PAPER: How do we advance mixed methods in mental health research?

Mixed methods are widely recognised as valuable in mental health research, but aren’t as embedded as we’d hope and there are a lot of challenges that individual researchers and teams must navigate… 1/

Advancing mixed methods in mental health research

In the mental health research field, there is a need for effective and robust methodological approaches that are able to address complexity. In this article, we reassert the importance of mixed method...
