Signing off from Twitter. Trump's return is the last straw. I hope to see you on a platform with a greater commitment to science and truth. Meantime, find me on LinkedIn.

One of the most important ways we can improve outcomes for those struggling with #mentalillness is by supporting entrepreneurs in getting breakthroughs, such as the @OneMindOrg Accelerator, into the hands of the people that need them faster.

Homeless individuals with mental illness can be forced down the path of food insecurity. Access to food and shelter is a human right. Combine meeting these basic needs with mental health services, and we can improve this community's health and well-being. #HHWeek

Once again, in 2021, more service members died by suicide than any other cause. We've lost more service members to suicide than combat every year since 2011. On #VeteransDay, we need to honor all who have served.

This NYT letter to the editor caught my attention. Ann's right. What we are doing now is not sustainable. Funding recovery needs to be a top priority so community-based services can thrive. @VannaHealth is creating innovative funding mechanisms for recovery for people with SMI.

Is the difference because men are struggling more, or are they more likely to use lethal means like firearms? The CDC data show that men are more likely to use firearms when they are #suicidal.

Does less sleep result in worse mental health? While correlation is not causation, CDC data suggest a growing problem with both sleep and #mentalhealth in youth.

With comprehensive, high-quality care—care that includes people, place, and purpose—people can heal. #mentalillness

The economic cost of schizophrenia in the US was an estimated $343.2 billion in 2019, double the cost in 2013. Yes, schizophrenia is expensive, and yet we are still not paying for recovery services like clubhouses and peer support. Investing in recovery will reduce the cost.

Allowing room for discovery is critical during youth, as is having people, place, and purpose. Great piece by @Nature!

For decades, Rosalynn Carter has been a voice for those struggling with serious #mentalillness. Her leadership during the last time the federal government took a leading role in mental health reform galvanized generations of activism.

Her policies may have been dismantled, but they have inspired generations of activists.
