@DrAnnieHickox I was known to services from the age 12 and wasn’t diagnosed (correctly) until I was 22. The system is so broken and the gatekeeping of treatment/support behind a diagnostic label is keeping so many people in distress who don’t need to be.

@aerogers1 @PhDVoice Thank you so much, we must celebrate soon!

A huge thank you to my supervisors, my participants, my examiners and my very own personal support network.

Happy #WorldBipolarDay. I'm a researcher who studies mental health support. I'm also someone who needs it. I've stopped treating those as things to keep apart. Proud to be part of the work @BrainGenHub and @BipolarUK does. 🧡

Speaking on a panel for @BipolarUK and @BrainGenHub this Monday (3:30–5pm) 🌍 on emerging research in bipolar care, including my own experience as a researcher living with bipolar with psychotic features.
You can register here for all three webinars: bipolaruk.org/get-involved/w…

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay 💙
We’re in Edinburgh for the first-ever MHP Research Summit 2025, bringing together researchers, clinicians & people with lived experience to advance understanding of severe mental illness.
Follow for highlights!

Thanks for following along!
This is just the start. Stay tuned for our next paper, which turns to the lived experiences of students with mental illness — how they navigate, negotiate, and sustain support in everyday life.

8️⃣ Contribution to knowledge
Among the first UK studies to test structural and perceived support together.
Findings show that subjective perceptions of support availability are more influential for wellbeing — and help explain how networks shape the direction of help-seeking.
English
1️⃣ New paper out in BMC Public Health! 🚀
We examined how students’ personal networks and perceptions of support are related to their #MentalHealth and help-seeking behaviours.
Main takeaway? Feeling supported matters more than network size.

Fantastic to be part of @BrainGenHub launch yesterday - working together towards improving diagnosis & understanding of bipolar & psychotic disorders.
And realising our goal of making our research hub a true community
Brain and Genomics Hub@BrainGenHub
@BipolarUK @Adferiad_ Hub lead, Professor James Walters emphasised that current approaches to mental health diagnosis and treatment often result in a delay in receiving effective treatments and life-changing symptoms from medications. 💊 The Brain and Genomics Hub hopes to change that.
