It was a pleasure to contribute to @thementalelf.bsky.social. In my piece, I discuss findings from a recent study by Spiller et al. (JAMA Psychiatry) on the heterogeneity of symptom presentation in mental disorder diagnoses.
The many faces of mental disorders https://buff.ly/3ZlOTVJ
Yuri Milaneschi @ymilaneschi.bsky.social finds that although there are many different faces of mental health problems, some of these faces are far more common than others.
