We’re running a study to investigate how Escitalopram (antidepressant) works in anxiety. Understanding how antidepressants work in the brain is key to improving treatment and ensuring more people are able to access an effective treatment more quickly

Antidepressants work for around 50% of people, but we don’t know why they work for some people and not others. We’re running a study to try and understand how Escitalopram works in anxiety so that we can help to improve treatments

Today marks the start of the 21st annual #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. The theme this year is Nature, after @mentalhealthfoundation research showed that being in nature was one of the most popular ways we've tried to sustain good mental health during the pandemic

[UCL ICN Anxiety Research @ucl_beads]

A few easy switches we'll be trying to make throughout the week:⁠
Eat at desk ➡️ eat in garden or local park
Listen to music ➡️ listen to nature sounds (rain, ocean, birdsong etc.)
Watch TV ➡️ watch a nature documentary
Sit facing away from window ➡️ sit close to a window
