Stigma remains a persistent challenge in mental healthcare - but what happens when we look at stigma within psychiatric genetics itself? A new @ispg.bsky.social survey co-authored by @reeteka.bsky.social, explores how stigma shapes research choices, disclosure & experiences of belonging in the field

Bhagyalakshmi Shankarappa & co-authors looked at the TM6SF2 gene involved in liver fat export and found lower methylation trending with cirrhosis & years of drinking - an early signal that alcohol may be reshaping this gene's activity over time. www.frontiersin.org/journals/med...

🧬 New publication! Why do some heavy drinkers develop cirrhosis while others don't? Our new study in @frontiersmedia.bsky.social in Medicine looks beyond alcohol exposure alone to ask whether genetic & epigenetic differences can help explain who is most vulnerable to alcohol-related liver damage.

🎨New publication! Stigma surrounding mental illness can't always be addressed by information alone - participation plays an important role. Our new Practice Insight in JCOM looks at what changes when persons with lived experience help shape mental health communication.

Really pleased to see this initiative from @cbmnimhans.bsky.social As scientists, we often speak about which aspects of #psychiatric disorders we model in the lab but we don't have insights from lived experiences. So if you/ a near one is willing, please consider being a part of this initiative.
