Disease development trajectories in #MentalDisorders vary by diagnosis at first contact, sex, and age, with younger patients exhibiting more diagnostic shifts and psychiatric contacts, highlighting the need for targeted preventive care. https://t.co/d1019rLTLu
But with our input the Australian Government is now building the next tier of our system with 20 youth specialist centres and many more headspaces including headspace plus. Digital enhances this yet face to face essential @orygen_aus@headspace_aus@Mark_Butler_MP
The person who built Claude Code just showed exactly how to use it.
30 minutes. Free. Straight from Boris Cherny himself.
Bookmark this before you forget. Most people using Claude daily are missing 40+ features hiding in plain sight.
