It is known that #depression is linked to increased incidence of metabolic diseases; now, scientists led by @ymilaneschi.bsky.social from 🇳🇱 @amsterdamumc.bsky.social discovered that different types of depression are linked to different cardiometabolic diseases.

Our study in @JAMAPsych ja.ma/4lVx1eu Using 🧬 we found that disruptions in #energy pathways link to specific #MDD symptoms (⬆️ appetite & sleep). This suggests a #depression profile linked to #metabolic risk, opening doors to targeted treatments. #metabolicpsychiatry

In May 2024, I joined an inspiring week at the Ernst Strüngmann Forum on #Metabolic #Neuropsychiatry.

Our first outcome is now in Nature Mental Health:
🧠 A Perspective on energy metabolism in psychiatric disorders

More to come in an upcoming volume—stay tuned!
Brain and body energy metabolism and potential for treatment of psychiatric disorders - Nature Mental Health
This Perspective highlights the important role of energy metabolism in psychiatric disorders and sets the groundwork for future studies in the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry.

Our new study in Translational Psychiatry showed that acylcarnitines (involved in mitochondrial #energy production) were linked to the presence+severity of #depression. Bioenergetic pathways may open new avenues in psychiatry #MetabolicPsychiatry check the paper ➡️: rdcu.be/eaWoN

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.
