Mixed methods in ESM? Still very uncommon. 💥 That should change, we think: we should go beyond numbers, and know what people mean with their numbers. nature.com/articles/s44271-0…

🗣️ Il faudrait « éduquer » les gens sur la santé mentale pour qu’ils changent d’avis, d’attitude, de comportement et ne stigmatisent plus. On dit aussi « augmenter la littératie ». C’est peu plus compliqué ça…

I'm a bit annoyed that NYT has settled on the title “Here’s What Psychiatrists Mean When They Say You Have A.D.H.D.” (presumably because it got more engagement) rather than the prior title “We’re Thinking About Mental Health Diagnoses All Wrong,” because the piece isn't really about ADHD. It's just an example I used in one passage.
When patients ask, “What disorder do I really ‘have’?” the honest answer is usually more interesting and messier than a single label. I wrote for the @nytimes on what I wish people understood about diagnoses and the nature of mental health problems.
