Exciting study on the psychobiological impact of social exclusion in adolescents with NSSI. Findings provide insights into the immediate stress response to social exclusion, going beyond traditional Cyberball. Grateful for another great collaboration within an FWF-funded project #NSSI #Bullying

Amazing collaboration and teamwork! Excited to share our work on the interplay between trauma symptoms and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). There is still much to learn and future studies will help us better understand the shared biological mechanisms that may link these phenomena #NSSI #PTSD

Viele Jugendliche verletzen sich selbst. Bilder auf Social Media können den Drang dazu verstärken, wie neue Forschung zeigt. Diese kann der Grundstein zur zielgerichteten Behandlung sein.
