Very proud to share this work in
@JAMANetworkOpen
- co-first author with my amazing PhD student
@StrombergAudrey
. We combined some of my work and her master’s thesis to look at the temporal dynamics between alcohol use, mood, and functioning in bipolar disorder. A 🧵(1/4)
Alcohol use, regardless of diagnostic status, was associated with mood instability and poorer work functioning in bipolar disorder.

😡 major manuscript rejection today. Second time this journal has rejected post review without option for revision when they are overwhelmingly positive reviews. Frustrated. 3 months down the drain.

Yesterday I put all my energy towards being a decent therapist on a horrible day. Today, I’m full of rage and fear. Denying abortion rights in a country that has little support for parents (parental leave, accessible healthcare) is going to have drastic impacts on mental health.
