@eisenlohr_moul I couldn't have done it without the BEST mentorship team imaginable - I'm so grateful to you and @mitchprinstein for the many, many hours of guidance and teaching!

@eisenlohr_moul @katjaschmalen THIS IS SO FABULOUS

Check out our article on menstrual effects (#PME) on aggression in #BPD—higher premenstrual levels of reactive agg (see below; anger is also highest then), but highest levels of proactive agg at ovulation (figure in comment) https://t.co/i53lLhw4wP @eisenlohr_moul @sowenscience

Meanwhile, neither @flo nor @clue facilitate diagnosis of #PMDD, despite the fact that #pmdd is the only disorder that is *actually* diagnosed (per DSM-5 requirement) with daily ratings.

First time presenting this data on acute, within-person changes in suicide risk over the menstrual cycle from work with @eisenlohr_moul at IASR in just a few hours!

[Sarah Owens @sowenscience]

LOVE Dr. Courtney Bagge’s emphasis on studying within-person acute fluctuations in suicide risk and educating patients on their own short-term warning signs 🙌 more of this, please! #Science2StopSuicide

“Risk assessments are often used to protect clinicians and health services... as rituals for reducing institutional anxiety” -Dr. Kapur on the need for therapeutic, patient-focused risk assessment #Science2StopSuicide

“The most caring & humane psychological services are those that have been shown empirically to be the most effective, efficient, and safe. Genuine caring requires the highest level of scientific rigor. Anything less, no matter how well intentioned, is likely less beneficial“
