In the midst of the mental well-being renaissance that is underway today, it's "important that we entertain all solutions..." said best by JWB's senior advisor, Cassandra Vieten PhD. #Virtualreality research is on the rise as a potentially powerful technology and tool for the enhancement of assessment in #mentalhealth. Check out this article "Virtual reality as a clinical tool in mental health research and practice" published by the National Library of Medicine: https://lnkd.in/giinANm

???? On World Mental Health Day, we at the Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering, Imperial College London, reaffirm our commitment to advancing mental health research through molecular science. Mental health challenges affect millions worldwide, and our interdisciplinary research aims to develop innovative solutions that can make a real difference. By exploring the molecular underpinnings of mental health and creating advanced diagnostic tools, we strive to enhance understanding and treatment of mental health conditions. We invite you to dive into our blog series, where we explore various facets of this important topic: Molecular Science & Mental Health: An Introduction https://lnkd.in/eCZKu--B The Role of Molecular Science in Understanding Mental Health https://lnkd.in/eVYRtFni Investigating Mental Health Through Molecular Pathways https://lnkd.in/ep5rjqRH Developing Innovative Diagnostic Tools for Mental Health https://lnkd.in/eE6pD_PH Harnessing Digital Twins for Mental Health Insights https://lnkd.in/eAmEcrGv Join us in exploring how molecular science can lead to breakthroughs in mental health care. Together, we can foster a more informed and supportive approach to mental health for all. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealth #MolecularScience #Innovation #ImperialCollegeLondon #GlobalChallenge

Underscoring TRC-DMH’s mission to promote digital mental health is a commitment to translational research. Translational research differs from basic clinical research by focusing on bridging the gap between research findings and real-world applications. Researchers in this field collaborate closely with industry stakeholders, community organizations, and institutional partners to identify pressing social issues and ensure (re)assessment opportunities throughout the research lifecycle. By adopting an applied-research approach, translational research enable scientific findings that respond to genuine human needs. #TWC #MentalHealth #TranslationalResearch #DigitalMentalHealth?

We are happy to announce publication of an edited book “1st Edition Exploring the Psycho-Social Impact of COVID-19 Global Perspectives on Behaviour, Interventions and Future Directions Edited By Dr Rajesh Verma Dr. Uzaina Qazi Prof Leister Sam Manickam Dr Tushar Singh @Dr Gyanesh Kumar Tiwari We thanks Lucy for her support throughout the process and Routledge We thanks all the contributors This comprehensive resource provides a one-stop information repository, exploring all psychological aspects of Covid-19. Divided into three sections, the book covers the psycho-social impact on society and individuals and our collective cooperative behaviour, as well as philanthropic efforts, coping strategies and technological interventions, and how lessons learned will help in preparedness for the future. Including case studies and the latest research from diverse scientific studies across different regions, this book examines how psycho-social paradigms changed as a result of the pandemic, and left their watermark on the human psyche. It also explores the coping strategies adopted to deal with this common aggressor and how the techniques varied in accordance with social, cultural and geographical factors. The final section offers new insights for the future, highlighting the psychological infrastructure required, the type of preparedness and handling strategies necessary to mitigate the impact of any future biogenic pandemics. Combining theory and practical application, this is a valuable reading for academics and researchers as well as practising psychologists, clinical psychologists, and law-makers who are concerned with mental health. https://lnkd.in/gCFzjTcj #editedbook #covid

?? Live from the ESSPD Congress in Antwerp! ?? Today, I had the privilege of presenting on the critical role of blinding (and a bit on missing outcome data) in randomized clinical trials of psychological interventions. Blinding helps minimize bias, yet it's often overlooked or underreported— especially in psychological trials. ?? Key Takeaways from my talk: - Our review found that only 58.7% of trials properly blinded outcome assessors. - Other key trial persons like participants, therapists, data managers and statisticians were frequently not blinded, which can bias the results. - Better blinding could lead to more reliable conclusions in psychological research, and when it’s not feasible, the risk of bias must be taken into account when interpreting effect estimates. It was an honor to present these insights at the ESSPD Congress in Antwerp, and I look forward to continuing the conversation on improving trial methodology in mental health intervention research.

Hey LinkedIn fam! ?? Let's talk about something incredibly impactful – clinical research in the mental health sector. ??? Did you know that every breakthrough in mental health care, from innovative therapies to new medications, all starts with clinical research? Imagine a world where we better understand mental health conditions, provide more effective treatments, and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. That’s the world clinical research is helping us build! ???? Clinical research isn’t just about white lab coats and sterile rooms. It’s about real people, real stories, and real change. It’s the courageous volunteers who participate in studies, the dedicated researchers who push boundaries, and the clinicians who bring new insights into practice. Each trial, each study, and each data point bring us closer to a brighter, healthier future. ???? For instance, thanks to clinical research, we’re now exploring personalized treatments tailored to individual needs. This means more effective care and better outcomes for everyone. Imagine if we could predict mental health issues before they become critical, just like we do with heart disease or diabetes. That’s the power of clinical research! ???? So, why should we care? Because investing in mental health research is investing in our collective well-being. It’s about giving hope to those who need it most and empowering our communities with knowledge and support. Join me in celebrating the heroes of clinical research and the amazing progress we’re making in mental health care. Together, we can break barriers, transform lives, and create a future where mental wellness is a reality for all. ???? #MentalHealthMatters #ClinicalResearch #Innovation #HealthRevolution #InspireChange

Hello LinkedIn family! ? I’m delighted to announce the publication of my latest article, “ Unmasking Denial in Symptomatology: Delving into the Psychological, Sociocultural, and Contextual Factors of Denial of Patient Symptoms" now live on International Journal of Clinical Research! ?? In this piece, we aim to elucidate the denial of symptoms and its various underlying factors to make healthcare more inclusive of these variations in patient presentations. The culmination of this exploration underscores the intricate nature of symptom denial, revealing its multifaceted origins within individual psychology, societal norms, and the broader environment. Denial emerges not as a monolithic reaction but as a nuanced interplay of coping mechanisms, cultural beliefs, socioeconomic factors, and health literacy. I’m eager to share my findings with you. A heartfelt thank you to #SakshamSharma for your support and invaluable feedback. Your expertise and encouragement were instrumental in shaping this work. #researchpublication #USMLE
