Glad to publish a review of geroscience and mental health with Breno Diniz and colleagues in @AmJGeriPsych. Mental disorders accelerate aging and lead to premature mortality and dementia. Now we have pathways for intervention.

Our second COVID treatment study available to read. Negative/failed study, but great example of a fully-remote trial.

Published the (negative) results of our second fluvoxamine study for COVID. We couldn't replicate our initial 2020 JAMA paper - even while other researchers did. But I'm proud of the team for the study (doing a fully remote clinical trial during COVID!).

Everyone is interested in psychedelics for mental illness - but how do they work? New study out of WashU psychiatry provides answers.

Exciting #childpsychiatry talk at #washu by Dr Kirsten Gilbert. Too much control = risk for psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, eating disorders). Her treatment research should help!

Calling all clinical trialists! This request by #NCATS for #decentralizedtrials could be a game-changer for clinical medicine. I can't overstate how much better this could be for developing, testing, personalizing, and optimizing treatments.

How to translate neuroscience advances into new treatments for depression, anxiety, psychosis? Adam Kepecs @KepecsLab uses novel circuitry-based phenotypes to translate from mouse to human. Great talk Adam!

#Anxiety disorders in older adults are common, impairing, and treatable. That's the point of a new article by @paula_span in @nytimes: Thanks to US Preventive Services Task Force for advocating for research on this!.

Sometimes your medically hospitalized patient has demoralization, not depression! So don't start medication and contribute to polypharmacy! .That's the take-home from a great talk today at #washu psychiatry by outstanding resident Can Misel Kilciksiz MD.

Great talk this week on #autism research by Natasha Marrus at #WashU psychiatry department. It develops early in life by multiple paths -- more research needed, larger sample size studies to understand this heterogeneity.

Great article on mental health care: ". the company discovered a fundamental truth of the U.S. health system: Americans value mental health extremely highly until they have to pay for it.".

#borderlinepersonalitydisorder -- untreatable? Not so fast!.At #WashU Department of Psychiatry, Diana Whalen and her team developed an elegant, data-based conceptual model for the development of BPD -- time to invest in more research, for treatment and prevention!. Bravo Diana!

For a GREAT summary of our recent findings in #JAMA showing no cognitive benefit in older adults from #mindfulness training or #exercise, here is a Medscape article from @fperrywilson:

Our new study, published in JAMA today:. #exercise and #mindfulness do not boost cognitive function in older adults. Controversial? Probably. Disappointing? Maybe. But my lab will continue to test new ways to help older adults have a Healthy Mind.
