Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s perhaps a bit on the side, but this topic aligns very well with the school of systemic therapy. The work of Gregory Bateson (for the example the book “Mind and nature, a necessary unit”) would dialogue with these ideas.

New blog post on 'the darkness that comes before', the concept that our current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are determined by a trillion of complex processes we are not equipped to understand—and challenges this causes in my work.

This narrative review describes a new approach to the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders that is based on dynamical systems theory, which addresses the concepts of tipping points, cycles, and chaos in complex systems. https://t.co/ZoyBKsQlh6

Climate endgame: risk of human extinction ‘dangerously underexplored’ https://t.co/s3oN0ECPIv

“Particularly concerning are tipping points, where a small rise in global temperature results in a big change in the climate”

All common disorders covered but more severe ones like anorexia, psychosis, severe mood and personality disorders left out. Peak for everything is in young people where prevalence has increased by 50% since last survey 15 yrs ago.Need to tackle prevention and urgent need for care

The global food system is a complex system and it has been losing resilience. Interesting read: https://t.co/i4Y6ljqELW

New paper out! This time we used network analysis to study the interrelationships between an array of clinical variables with the focus on functioning. #psychosis @SchizBulletin

We observed a shift from rationality and reasoning towards emotion and human experience over the past 40 years, based on millions of books. With @MartenScheffer, Johan Bollen & Els Weinans https://t.co/Xn3zO8NvDF

I really dislike "brain health" when talking about emotional/mental health problems. It attributes problems often due to stressors & external events, stigma, discrimination, & adverse healthcare/political systems to an individual/their brain.

@StijnImaging Thanks for your input, @StijnImaging !

[Bernardo Moura @BernardoMemo]

Hey everyone, I just got invited to do my first peer-review of a manuscript. Any advice out there to someone starting to do this kind of task?

[Eiko Fried @EikoFried]

Paper on studying mental disorders as systems, not syndromes, submitted. Thanks to everybody who provided feedback!

Journal limits to 30 references, but I decided to keep a long version with all references on the OSF ⬇️.

Historians of Germany know the consequence of the 1918 myth of the army having been “stabbed in the back”. What will be the long term consequence for the US of the myth of “election stolen”? Not being able to recognise defeat infect politics durably.

[Bernardo Moura @BernardoMemo]

Very proud of our new paper, a joint analysis of psychopathology, cognition and motor symptoms through networks in the schizophrenia-spectrum. @SchizBulletin

“Climate is changing — I don’t know, I am not a scientist”. “You car is ready ma’am — I am not sure, I am not a mechanic “. “Your son is dying from cancer — How would I know? I am not a doctor”. The end of the transfer of credible information across professions...

Just read this on a (2013) article: “all patients received dietetically balanced hospital meals, which were occasionally supplemented by gifts (usually fruit)”.
Context: schizophrenia inpatients (avg hospitalization time: 9 years)

[Bernardo Moura @BernardoMemo]

I published today an opinion article about the current pandemic and the discussion around trust in science. I think the exposure of scientific research at this time might increase transparency but the complexity of the issue in hands is challenging (in PT) https://t.co/V8qqabR3f2

New paper published this week: https://t.co/qYb9KslNWU. Incredibly important and pressing work on polarization and opinion formation. Could easily also be applied to attitudes towards lockdown measures.

[Bernardo Moura @BernardoMemo]

Such a fascinating presentation by Lucia Valmaggia about #VR for youth mental health, today at the Portuguese meeting of Early Psychosis. Great to see cutting edge technology being used in such a relevant manner to improve health and social issues. @IEPAnetwork

[Eiko Fried @EikoFried]

New Perspective in @NEJM on the failures of #BiologicalPsychiatry (via @obifelten), and the importance of embracing biopsychosocial complexity. Reads like the unofficial editorial for the special issue on the topic Don and I are putting together!
