We know anxiety research in low- and middle-income contexts is limited, even though millions of people with anxiety live in these countries.

But what exactly are the challenges to more research in these contexts?

79% of psychiatrists recommend immediate treatment with an antidepressant to an outpatient with depression, but only 39% of psychiatrists would immediately take an antidepressant if they personally had depression, while 61% would prefer watchful waiting https://t.co/1dSaOifk2Q

We support a First Nations Voice to Parliament.

The Voice is a step towards recognising the First Peoples of Australia. Enshrined in the Constitution, it would be an independent & permanent body designed to advise Parliament on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander matters.

MYRIAD – a Wellcome-funded study – found mindfulness in schools doesn’t improve mental health in early teens.

While some may view this negatively, it proves the value of high-quality research in advancing mental health science. @WillemKuyken @UniofOxford

Yesterday evening the bill passed and for the first time in Indonesia’s history, #SuicidePrevention is explicitly mandated by law (https://t.co/umBkMLSUaX )🎉🎉🎉 . Its a huge victory for us all and the start of a new era for Indonesia’s #SuicidePrevention. What does this mean?🧵

[Dr. Sandersan (Sandy) Onie @DrSandersanOnie]

Our first paper from the Indonesian Suicide Prevention Strategy has been published 🎉🎉🎉

Here we - from all different industries and people groups - lay out the qualitative situational analysis and next steps. Suicide prevention is everyone’s business.
