There are huge gaps in the general public's understanding of mental health.
What is Mental Health? has a clear and simple perspective, but also nuanced and science-informed.

Mental health is complicated. Our 3-part article series, What is Mental Health? is a simple explanation of *how mental health works* that aims to give everyone a better understanding. It’s also consistent with scientific understanding (but simplified). 🧵of an outline of Part I.

Emotions partly define our day-to-day experience and our mental health. Other bodily signals, such as hunger or having to pee, have similarities with negative (ie unpleasant) emotions that can help us understand mental health. (1/10)🧵

When @NicoleEinbinder came to me with a tip several months ago about the prison healthcare company Corizon Health and its controversial bankruptcy, we knew the stakes were high.

People have been citing our 2015 paper "Single-Item Measurement of Suicidal Behaviors: Validity and Consequences of Misclassification" to critique single-item EMA measurement of suicidal urges, intent, etc. I'll explain why this is inappropriate use of that paper🧵1/7

In sum, that paper critiques Y/N items that broadly assess "suicidal thoughts" bc it's confusing and results in misclassification. It shouldn't be used to critique EMA single-items on a scale or with specific questions. Please RT to other suicide/clinical researchers. Thnx 7/7

What is Mental Health, actually?
I'm excited to share the first chapter of a series I'm making with @millner_alex and Merryn Daniel of Harvard's Nock Lab and Franciscan Children's Hospital, It's based on Alex's proven framework working with patients.
