60% of women with depression suffer significant premenstrual exacerbation (#PME) of symptoms, and we have no evidence-based treatments for this cyclical change that complicates treatment. Our lab studies the complex biologies of #PME & #PMDD! #PMDDAwarenessMonth #pmddpeeps
Reposting this amazing magic from @esylarur in honor of #PMDDAwarenessMonth #pmdd #pme #PMDDpeeps — I also LOVE that she is shining an equal light on #PME— it’s much more common than PMDD and we don’t have any evidence-based treatments yet. (We at @clear_lab is working on that!)

Late to the party - I WILL be reviewing applications for clinical PhD students this cycle. 👍💎 Apply to work with me @universityofky - the lab is working on developing/refining modules to address domains of the five-factor model of personality. Little 🧵

My clinical psychology internship/residency pays me $36,000/year at a full-time position in Seattle, where the cost of living is wild. This equals $17/hour 🙃. Post-docs make $55k/yr With these salaries after 6+ yrs of training, no wonder there's a MH provider shortage.
WHERE ARE ALL THE MEN SHARING THEIR SALARIES TRANSPARENTLY

The psychology of it all 😱
McKay et al. (2006) found that which psychiatrist you got was a better predictor of outcome than whether you got imipramine or placebo. Psych1 got better results with placebo than 7 of the 9 others got with imipramine Psych8 & Psych9’s patients got worse no matter what.

I get emails quite often these days asking questions about the best ways to measure psychological states in EMA research. I don't think I'm an authority on this, but worked very hard on this over the last few years so I thought I'll share my own thoughts on this. 🧵

I’m incredibly proud of our new clinical practice paper emphasizing the dire need for greater access to GnRHa for #pmdd and providing practical materials to improve psychiatrist’s competence and confidence in the ability to provide this (often life-saving) therapy.
When first- and second-line treatments have failed to yield symptom relief in treatment-resistant premenstrual dysphoric disorder, the use of GnRHa with hormone add-back should be considered. bit.ly/3Joyg4I

This #pmdawarenessmonth2022 I want to highlight the new research (from my own @clear_lab, @IAPMDglobal, and others!) showing staggeringly high lifetime rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts in those with PMDs.

At IAPMD, we recognize that there are additional barriers faced by #transgender people who have #PMDD. If you're a trans person living with a #PMD (or you want to be a better ally) visit the link in our bio for info and resources. #TDOV #TDOV2021 #TransgenderDayOfVisibility2021

Tonight at 6:45pm~ Come to poster (S2-189) to see CLEAR Lab member Maddie Divine present results from our exciting clinical trial of hormone stabilization for women with chronic suicidal thoughts and behaviors! #SoMepsychs #adaa2019
Proud to have some collaborations in the works with @UCLAStressLab! This work makes so much sense— our relationships are such powerful determinants of our wellbeing. #adaa2019
George Slavich: Targeted social rejection such as unwanted break up or lay-off is 9.2 times more likely to trigger MDD than other types of stress #ADAA2019
