Excited to share our new cross-disorder GWAS analysis of neurological and psychiatric disorders (~1 M cases), now out in @NatureNeuro. We reveal a greater degree of genetic pleiotropy than previously recognized. link: rdcu.be/ePmwD @SFFNORMENT @UniOslo

New paper out! Our GWAS on screen behaviours among adolescents (N=18.5k) uncovers the first genomic loci for social media use and reveals shared genetic signal with mental disorders and educational attainment. #Screentime #MentalHealth #Genetics nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Did you know it takes an average of 8 years to diagnose #BipolarDisorder? Newly published research from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (bit.ly/3JkuokY) aims to improve this by learning more about the condition’s biology. Now in Nature: go.nature.com/3PJhi3W

Our 10-year follow-up study on the link between visual hallucinations, functioning, and suicidality in first-episode psychosis has now been published @schizjournal : nature.com/articles/s41537-0…
New preprint alert 🚨 osf.io/mhypb/ We examined the association between visual hallucinations, functioning, and suicidality over the course of illness in first-episode psychosis (10-year follow-up).

Haatveit, @i_s_melle, Alnæs et al investigated cognitive mean and variability differences between patients with #SZ and #BD and healthy controls. The analysis revealed case-control differences on 90% of the variables @sffnorment @UniOslo @schizjournal bit.ly/4aIFAE8

Researchers @SFFNORMENT found impaired social cognition in men w/history of violence: Those men w/additional schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) had global social cognitive impairments, whereas men w/o SSD had more specific impairments in theory-of-mind. bit.ly/49ta3pt

You might know your mind, but do you know you have the right to good mental health? What does this mean for the 1 in 8 of us who have a mental health condition? It means the right to good quality mental health care and support. To be included in your community. To have a voice. Your #MentalHealth is vital and should be respected. Knowledge is our strength. Know your rights bit.ly/46Hakmf

PhD paper 3 preprint! We find that although diagnosis-derived RSFC patterns replicate from a developmental clinical US sample to a convenience sample of Norwegian youth, their utility is greatly limited due to their lack of sensitivity to symptom burden. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
