Time to refill that cup P.S. search 'self-care' on our website for lots of tips and ideas for how

It’s tough seeing someone you care about going through a hard time - you can feel pretty helpless, right? 😔 But the good news is, there are ways you can try to support them. 1/2

How can I help someone if they're struggling?
offer practical help like chores ( laundry basket) educate yourself look for helpful info ( laptop with mind webpage) offer to go to appointments with them (hugging) ask them how they'd like to be supported (How can I help? sign) listen and don't judge (phone) Same time next week, keep social contact (mugs of tea)

Can VR help treat anxiety and phobias? New evidence says yes — but with caveats. A new meta-analysis suggests immersive VR is better than no treatment and often as good as other therapies, especially for anxiety-related disorders. 🧵 THREAD

Excited about our new preprint: 1st successful genome-wide study of >61,000 panic attack and 29,000 panic disorder cases. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... We find 17 associations & evidence that peripheral neurons in eye, lungs and heart are involved in panic & other psychiatric disorders 1/n

(2/2) In a preprint led by @megsk.bsky.social @thaliaeley.bsky.social in @gladstudy.bsky.social, GWASs of #functionalimpairment, anxiety, and depressive symptoms revealed high genetic correlations, suggesting symptom measures may detect most of the genetics of functional impairment. 🔍 osf.io/4d6ju
