Two nights ago I called Lifeline (a suicide prevention hotline) , I was having some unsettling thoughts surrounding suicide. As psychology/mental health researchers, we’re definitely not immune - but I believe we should set an example in help seeking. (1/2)

It was hard. There was still guilt and shame holding me back from reaching out. But then I realized, these thoughts don’t mean I am not productive, strong, nor capable. And being able to ask for help was a sign of my strength, not weakness. I asked for help, you can too. (2/2)

This is my dad (in white) and I am proud of him. In reponse to Indonesia’s economy being hit very hard due to COVID 19, he started a soup kitchen feeding 500 people a day. He is not a chef, nor is he in the restaurant business, and so he set this up from scratch.

@AmmarGill
I think there’s some truth to this. However, mental health does encompass good social skill as well as healthy self reflection and evaluation. All of what you’ve said that should come first instead of mental health, is part of mental health. Being hostile is unbeneficial to all.

We need a team science structure like

but for mental health interventions and clinical research - low Ns sabotage the studies even with the best theoretical backing
How do we do better?
1) standardize measurement & pool data across trials before publishing
2) create actual journal submission avenues for doing this! That is: **incentivize team science** by prioritizing/fast tracking RCTs that pool across samples and/or have large Ns
