Had a very stimulating brain storming session on "social media as a commercial determinant of mental health & suicide" with @abhijitnadkarni.bsky.social @urvitabhatia.bsky.social & friends from IPH Bengaluru!

My early career #researcher colleagues in the #Addictions and Related #Research Group @Sangath India, Brinda & Radhika recently presented our MADAD project at the Asia-Pacific #Conference on #Adolescent #MentalHealth Brinda also won First Place in the poster presentation competition!

It is always a pleasure to attend the annual INEBRIA conference. Got to talk about addictions research in #India, our work, learn about recent advances in #alcohol use disorders treatments, and meet old friends (and make new ones)

The cardiologists and the cardiology associations & journals are flocking to Blue Sky ditching Twitter! When will the mental health professionals follow? Can someone create a starter pack of mental health professionals please!
