GALENOS

This research by GALENOS was influenced by the lived experience of our GLEAB members. They ensured that the research on pro-dopaminergic drugs was impact focused. You can learn more in this interview with GLEAB member Judy: galenos.org.uk/blog-news/why-… 3/3

GALENOS researchers have found that dopamine is implicated in anhedonia, and shared their findings in a new paper published in @eBioMedicine Other neurotransmitters are involved as well and more research is needed to fully understand the complex causes of anhedonia. 2/3

Anhedonia is the inability to feel pleasure from activities that are normally enjoyable, like hobbies, socialising, or eating. It’s often linked to conditions like depression and can make things feel flat or uninteresting. 🧵1/3

What is anhedonia? And why does it matter for mental health research? Psychotherapist and GLEBE member Sandra helps us to understand what anhedonia is and what the latest research about it means 👇 galenos.org.uk/blog-news/unde… #MentalHealth #Research #Anhedonia

Are you a mental health researcher exploring treatments and interventions for PTSD and trauma therapy? If your research incorporates #EMDR therapy in any way then you could be eligible for a research grant of up to $332,500!

GALENOS is investigating the effects of estrogen-based treatments in adults with SSD by compiling the existing evidence into one big systematic review. You can read more about this project, and view the evidence yourself, here: galenos.org.uk/blog-news/estr… 5/5

Reduced estrogen levels in women with SSD have been linked to worsening symptoms during hormonally sensitive periods such as menstruation, after childbirth (postpartum), and during menopause. 4/5

Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) affect millions of people & can cause hallucinations, feelings of detachment from reality & difficulties that can disrupt quality of life. Decades of research have revealed key differences in how SSD develops in men & women. 🧵1/5

GALENOS's own Gin Malhi, @And_Cipriani & Georgia Salanti were delighted to present at #WCP2025 about literature based discovery science. They shared how GALENOS synthesizes existing evidence to reduce waste & improve efficiency in #mentalhealth research. #WorldMentalHealthDay

#OpenData is a critical part of #OpenResearch, increasing both visibility and transparency. In our recent blog post, we highlighted some #FAQs surrounding open data. spr.ly/6010A6uAq

"The first time I was accepted as a Lived Experience Expert at GALENOS was exciting. It felt incredibly affirming to be connected to such respected institutions as @MQmentalhealth and @UniofOxford" Read Daniel's experience of advising GALENOS here: galenos.org.uk/blog-news/refl…

🧠 Millions are held back by mental health problems. @WellcomeTrust is changing that through collaborative #OpenScience on the GALENOS Gateway. Discover how living systematic reviews are advancing mental health research #MentalHealthScience spr.ly/6014fgalp

Can AI speed up #mentalhealthresearch? Professors Malcome Macleod from @uniofedinburgh and James Thomas from @ucl discuss how AI can be used to review literature, but why it will never really replace human beings. Watch their discussion here 👇 galenos.org.uk/blog-news/How-…

"For me, co-production means, 'Hey, I have an idea, and I’m empowered to share it to improve this cause'.” Glebe member Promise Adetoro shares why it's essential to prioritise the involvement of people with lived or living experience in research. 👉galenos.org.uk/blog-news/infl…

This #ResearchAppreciationDay we thank all of the GALENOS researchers from around the world who are working to advance our understanding of Depression, Anxiety and psychosis. #ThankyouResearchers

Tomorrow is #ResearchAppreciationDay, we would like to say thank you to our amazing research community for your support of us and #OpenScience. 🎉 Celebrating the curiosity that changes our world, let's show some love for the researchers who inspire us!
