Across the UK, 1.25 million people are impacted by eating disorders, posing serious health risks and challenging traditional diagnosis and treatment methods due to their complex nature. Professor Janet Treasure, renowned for her research in eating disorders, began her career with groundbreaking studies on twins in the 1980s. This research challenged prevailing psychological theories by revealing genetic connections to anorexia. Today, her work continues to advance holistic approaches that integrate psychological and physiological aspects for more effective treatment strategies. In a recent podcast with Jim Al-Khalili, Professor Treasure delves into her research, offering insights into the dual origins of anorexia rooted in both body and mind. 🎧 Listen to the full podcast episode: https://ow.ly/A69n50Szy5K #EatingDisorders #MentalHealth

🌟 Huge thank you to our fantastic speakers Jeffrey Braithwaite, Dan Chisholm, Deb Chiodo, Rosemary Gathara, Bibilola Oladeji, our panelists Beth McGinty and Matthew Eisenberg and session chair Sireesha J. Bobbili for their expert contributions to our "Systems Matter" online symposium last week! We started by exploring the big picture, asking what we mean by systems thinking in #MentalHealthResearch. We then took a closer look at some practical examples, covering systems strengthening, capacity building, community-led innovation, learning health systems - and more.     We’re reflecting on the insights emerging from the discussions, including:    💡Systems thinking is really about people: knowing who to involve, and how to do this meaningfully in a structured, dynamic and long-term way.  💡Systems thinking means the whole system, not just the health system – we need to include the touch points across different aspects of life, community, and the wider socioeconomic and sociopolitical context.  💡 We need to prioritise bottom-up solutions and strategies that are culturally sensitive and contextually relevant and developed by stakeholders who have firsthand knowledge of system challenges.  💡 What a researcher might think of as evaluation might not be what decision makers and communities actually need or want. How can co-create meaningful approaches to evaluation together?  💡 The power of proactively embedding a collaborative, cross-disciplinary learning culture – thinking about values, influential leadership and supportive governance. We need to create spaces that break down silos, and build networks, between researchers, implementers, contexts and regions. (*we’re grateful to those who said this symposium was another step in the right direction 🙂) 🌍 It was great to welcome attendees from across the research and implementation ecosystem – and from almost 50 countries around the world! 🤝 The session was run in collaboration with Grand Challenges Canada and The Lancet #Psychiatry - and was the first in our series on bridging the mental health research implementation gap.    📺 Missed it?
