🔬 New research uncovers nearly 500 genetic sites that influence metabolism, showing how genes interact with sex to impact cholesterol, fat levels, and disease risk.
A step toward personalized medicine! https://t.co/232XcVAbnL

Body composition changes are not always captured by tracking weight
@AMRAMedical found that SSRI #antidepressant users had more visceral fat, smaller muscle volume & higher muscle fat infiltration compared to controls. This may increase #cardiometabolic risk #OW2024 #depression

Happy #WorldMentalHealthDay! 🎗️💚🧠
As we learn more about #mentalhealth’s impact on the body, #cardiopsychiatry is emerging as a vital approach for caring for both mind and heart. What do you think the future holds for it? #hearthealth #psychiatry #psychology @OOTify

[CoMorMent @CoMorMent]

Physical & #MentalHealth are inextricably linked.

We use a #BigData approach to investigate how & why mental ill-health interacts with cardiovascular disease. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealth

[WorldMentalHealthDay @WMHDay]

By paying attention to those around you, it might just save a life.

Welcoming people in to hear more about our research, as part of #DoorsOpenDay Edinburgh

@CoMorMent preprint where we assess the shared genetic liability between major depressive disorder and cardiovascular disease, map it to tissues and brain cell-types, and identify causal pathways explaining the comorbidity. @JoellePasman

@genscot Important work! You can read our accessible summary of these research findings here: https://t.co/6hftYidSie

CoMorMent research examines the connections between mental illness and cardiovascular disease.

One of the questions that came up at our annual meeting was how research findings in this field translate into clinical practice.

Good to see funding for this from @NIHRresearch!

[National Institute for Health and Care Research @NIHRresearch]

NIHR has invested £2 million into a new study dedicated to lessening the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with severe mental illness. Read more: https://t.co/ifBlVvlJLp

Attendees at the CoMorMent annual meeting in Tallin, Estonia are sharing recent findings and planning next steps. #mentalhealth #cardiovascular

[CoMorMent @CoMorMent]

CoMorMent Researchers have gathered today in Tallin, Estonia, to discuss our most recent findings and make a plan for our final year of our EC project.

[CoMorMent @CoMorMent]

Happening today at 2pm BST!

The PGC MDD group took over @PGCgenetics twitter account for two weeks, covering the topics below.
Forms a thorough introduction to MDD - great resource for students

Thanks to 💫@karmelchoi & @jessmndy💫

Did you know that #Autism can be mistaken for #depression and vice versa? @SineadRhodes & team co-created a new Neurodevelopmental Depression Inventory to help.

If you are a clinician, take their 5-minute survey, to tell them how you might use it: https://t.co/SXKjfku8Rv

[CoMorMent @CoMorMent]

The connection between mental and physical health is a hot topic these days. But what is the latest research?
And how can health professionals use it in their clinical practice?
