🚨New in BMC Geriatrics: Our qualitative study with 20 older adults in Bangkok shows that concern about falling is not only about physical risk. Perceived control, resilience, social context, and how people make sense of ageing shape activity and prevention. Fall care must be person-centred. 🚶

The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9, PHQ-8, and PHQ-2 are the most commonly used mental health outcome measures in clinical practice.
New BMJ Research assesses the minimal important difference of the PHQ-9, PHQ-8, or PHQ-2

🚨We’ve discovered that one of our research papers was almost completely copied and published under other authors’ names. The article claims to be a study from Prince of Songkla University, uses the same ethics approval number as ours, and even thanks our statistician in the acknowledgements. It lists a 2024 publication date but cites 2025 papers, raising serious concerns about the reliability of the dates and the credibility of the journal. 🧐 We’ve contacted the journal that published our genuine article and received initial guidance, but would welcome any advice from others with experience of similar misconduct. 🙏

Today we are publishing our first ever position statement on menopause and mental health. A lack of understanding means too many women are missing out on vital support when they need it most. #MenopauseAndMentalHealth

🚨 Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) - the most controversial treatment in Psychiatry
A study of >1 million patients with a depressive disorder re-examined the benefits of ECT.
Here's what you need to know about this landmark paper published this week in @BMJMentalHealth

New meta-analysis @BMJMentalHealth 👇🏼
On electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in severe #depression:
#ECT reduces all-cause mortality risk (HR 0.70), but its effect on #suiciderisk is transient. Regional differences noted that Japan shows the strongest benefit.

ADHD is a circadian rhythm disorder.
We just published a new paper on the topic.
frontiersin.org/journals/psy…
Circadian rhythm dysfunction is highly prevalent in ADHD
Up to ~75% of patients have delayed sleep and wake timing, and shifting the clock earlier is linked to symptom improvement
I just published a paper on what this means for treatment. Here’s what we found 🧵1/12

Systematic review asks: What works?
Scoping review asks: What exists?
Many researchers confuse the two!

Here's when a scoping review makes sense:
— You're exploring an emerging area
— You want to identify what research methods people are using
— You need to clarify how a concept is being defined
— You want to spot where the research gaps are
Stick with systematic reviews when:
— You have a focused question
— You need to inform policy or practice decisions
— You want to compare interventions
— Critical appraisal matters for your question
