We are profoundly grateful that Dr. Ruth Gottesman, Professor Emerita of Pediatrics at @EinsteinMed, has made a transformational gift to #MontefioreEinstein—the largest to any medical school in the country—that ensures no student has to pay tuition again. bit.ly/3wvBj7y

New @CIHR_IRSC funding for @SFUneuro will enable researchers @Brianne_Kent and @ar0mcintosh to take a holistic look at how environment, lifestyle and genes contribute to dementia risk and resilience.

If we want to create real change, we believe it’s important to be open about suicide. Learn the facts: 988.ca/understanding-suicide…
ALT Text that reads “Being open about suicide can: Break down the stigma around suicide. Feel like a relief if you are struggling., Encourage people to get the help they deserve. Call or text, 24/7. 9-8-8”

Today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
We reflect on the tragic and senseless murder of 14 women at l'École Polytechnique in Montreal 34 years ago and remain steadfast in ending gender-based #violence.

People across #Canada can now call or text 9-8-8 (@988Canada) if they're thinking about #suicide or worried about someone they know.
CAMH is proud to lead the implementation + operation of this lifesaving service in collaboration with our partners across the country.

Housing is a human right, a social determinant of health + critical to #mentalhealth. Too many people don't have access to #safe, affordable + supportive #housing.
It's time to come together to address #Canada's housing crisis.

Our biggest EEG biomarker study to date just got published in @NatMentHealth
Alpha peak frequency-based Brainmarker-I as a method to stratify to pharmacotherapy and brain stimulation treatments in depression
Here we show that Brainmarker-I can help stratify between various antidepressants treatments from psychotherapy, sertraline to TMS protocols, ECT, Ketamine etc. Stratification potential validated for most treatments using blinded out-of-sample validation.
Conclusion: We hereby present a clinically actionable transdiagnostic treatment stratification EEG biomarker that can successfully assign patient subgroups to various ADHD and MDD treatments, and is ready to be implemented in clinical practice.

Suicide prevention includes recognizing and addressing warning signs that someone may be considering suicide, regardless of whether he has asked for help.

A very powerful and poignant video by @NorwichCityFC . Not all signs of depression are obvious and we need to make sure those around us feel comfortable opening up if they're struggling.

New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by:
1. reading widely,
2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality,
3. taking year-long sabbaticals.
