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.

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. 🔗 doi.org/10.1186/s12889-025-2… #MentalHealth #StudentMentalHealth #PhDVoice

Replying to @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.
