At IAPMD, we recognize that there are additional barriers faced by #transgender people who have #PMDD. If you're a trans person living with a #PMD (or you want to be a better ally) visit the link in our bio for info and resources. #TDOV #TDOV2021 #TransgenderDayOfVisibility2021

These amazing people at the UIC CCTS make our clinical trials run smoothly here at CLEAR Lab!! 🙌🏻

New CLEAR Lab paper (collab w/ IAPMD): high lifetime rates of suicidal thoughts (72%) and attempts (34%) in a global sample (n=599) of patients w prospectively-diagnosed #pmdd. Threads and hype coming soon for #pmddawarenessmonth ♥️ bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

This #pmdawarenessmonth2022 I want to highlight the new research (from my own CLEAR Lab, IAPMD, and others!) showing staggeringly high lifetime rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts in those with PMDs.

I get emails quite often these days asking questions about the best ways to measure psychological states in EMA research. I don't think I'm an authority on this, but worked very hard on this over the last few years so I thought I'll share my own thoughts on this. 🧵

I’m incredibly proud of our new clinical practice paper emphasizing the dire need for greater access to GnRHa for #pmdd and providing practical materials to improve psychiatrist’s competence and confidence in the ability to provide this (often life-saving) therapy.

The psychology of it all 😱

Excited to serve on the Editorial Board of this exciting new journal!

My clinical psychology internship/residency pays me $36,000/year at a full-time position in Seattle, where the cost of living is wild. This equals $17/hour 🙃. Post-docs make $55k/yr With these salaries after 6+ yrs of training, no wonder there's a MH provider shortage.

Late to the party - I WILL be reviewing applications for clinical PhD students this cycle. 👍💎 Apply to work with me University of Kentucky - the lab is working on developing/refining modules to address domains of the five-factor model of personality. Little 🧵
