Mood and Anxiety & Eating Disorders joint lab

While #mindfulness may be overhyped, it benefits #cancer sufferers and survivors: mindfulness-based interventions reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and cancer-related fatigue in cancer patients and survivors. Link to meta-analysis, I was fortunate to contribute to, below:

Fascinating talk by @AnastasiaWho_ on psychosocial correlates of death anxiety in oncology, multiple sclerosis & ED populations. Few studies on self esteem & DA. Great to see more research in death anxiety at #AACBT22, and excited to see the final results of this meta analysis!

Despite yesterdays tongue in cheek comments 😉 I am 100% excited to be presenting @AACBT_org_au today! Colleagues & I will be presenting on transdiagnostic factors across depression, anxiety & EDs. Mine will be on death anxiety. Would love to see you there! #AACBT2022

Important, comforting and sobering keynote by @CMurrupStewart at the @AACBT_org_au on myths and misconceptions around First Nations health & wellbeing. Ongoing injustices continue. Sovereignty was never ceded. Time to decolonise psychology practice now!! #AACBT2022

Our lab is honoured to present at the @AACBT_org_au on transdiagnostic factors across depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Symposium 9 at 11am. Would love to see you there 👋 #AACBT2022

And another one! 👏📄 A meta-analytic review by Ellentika Chayadi, supervised by Litza Kiropoulos has found that mindfulness based interventions reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety and cancer related fatigue in oncology populations. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Just published 📄👇 A meta-analytic review by @NicoleRickerby, supervised by @krug_isabel & Litza Kiropoulos has found that rumination is a transdiagnostic factor found across MDD, GAD, SAD & Eating Disorders. Find it here: psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-95…

All research will be co-supervised by Dr Litza Kiropoulos (Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences) and Professor Neil O’Brien-Simpson (Melbourne Dental School). Please contact Dr Litza Kiropoulos for more information: tinyurl.com/47rpvmtj & share with your networks 3/3

We are examining a range of biomarkers related to depression in various populations (clinical, multiple sclerosis). The student will be expected to assist with the lab-based cytokine analyses. 2/3

Exciting Master of Psychology & PhD opportunities currently available! We are seeking interested research candidates with an undergraduate background in psychology, biomedicine or science to work on a funded biomarkers of depression study. 1/3

Our joint mood, anxiety & eating disorders lab are proud to be presenting our work on transdiagnostic factors at #AACBT22. We'll be presenting on a range of mechanisms & across different populations, including community-based & illness populations. More details 👇 come say hi 👋

The first study from my PhD on the topic of eating disorder severity ratings was recently published in Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice 🥳🤓 Available online at doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi…

Another poster presented at the fantastic #BIRD2021 conference. Simone Girardin presented our conceptual model on the relationship between appearance comparisons and disordered eating. Would love to hear your thoughts on this or any of our other work!

We enjoyed attending #BIRD2021 & were honoured to present some of our work there. Hu et al investigated the impacts of Chinese Tiktok trends and challenges on body image of Chinese users 👀👇 We are excited to continue this research into body image among non-Western populations.

Our team working to improve clinical understanding of common & adverse symptoms of #endometriosis

Great quality research and exciting work being presented at the #BIRD2021 conference today. Honoured to be a part of this with a poster presenting our conceptual model on the relationship between death anxiety and disordered eating. Would love to hear your thoughts on it 🤗💬

@AnDang845113 is a combined master of clinical psychology and PhD student. Her research focuses on understanding the clinical validity of eating disorder severity ratings to guide clinical practice and policies (e.g., treatment access or funding).
