🧠💪 NEW RESEARCH: Group CBT for young people's mental health!

A study of 136 youth (12-24 years) found that group-based, low-intensity CBT significantly improved quality of life and future outlook - especially effective for younger age ≤18 and females.🌟

✅ Better mindfulness = less anxiety
✅ Higher self-esteem = better wellbeing
✅ Community-friendly approach

Our new meta-analysis published in World Psychiatry shows that depression is associated with 2-fold increased risk of mortality but the mortality risk was reduced among those treated with antidepressants.

💭 Why do people with depression die younger🥺and what can change that? Our new paper @kwunnamchan @corinesmwong @hkumed (World Psychiatry 24:3) shows just how big that gap is — and points toward treatment. #MentalHealth #Depression
