Of all the AI trainings my employer should offer, and they offer a lot, is one teaching faculty how to edit their emails so they aren’t obviously just chat GPT generated.

Who’s feeling it?

Thanks!

This is horrific. Lots of things one could say, but it occurs to me that part of the issue is the success of modern medicine. People forget just how many and how often things used to kill or really damage us. Education probably needs to start emphasizing this more.

Any recent (or old too is fine) literature or review on most common stated reason for presenting to therapy or psychiatric treatment?

I don't just mean the diagnoses people get, I mean the presenting complaint. Anything?

The most regrettable aspect of editing a journal is that desk rejections are by far the most common decision I send out

Sometimes authors reply. Often these are positive, disappointed but grateful for the feedback

Sometimes they are not. And, often it is best to let the author have the last word

BTW, you’ll find I have nothing but snark for you, dear collaborator, if you try to rein in my shitposting!

Ummm…how many individual EMA surveys were there?

You KNOW that’s not the reviewer’s concern. They want to know power in 22k despite an observed effect size (sig of course) of d=.24. Small, but not tiny.

AND, get this, asks us to interpret the difference for NA (.24) and PA (.28). They are sig diff, bc you know, 22k.

Even then…

If a reviewer is asking about power in a sample size of 22,000, then I think you should just be able to point that absurdity out to the editor and not have to address any more of their feedback.

I'd honor that as an editor, TBH.

I think I understand the models, but abstracts are tough for complex/nuanced claims. So withholding any conclusions now. Just registering some concern.

Yeah that’s one curiosity.

Interested in running multi component intervention trials?

Kelley Kidwell will be offering a workshop on the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework on Dec 15th!

Can’t get the full paper on my phone right now, but that abstract makes some alarming but also very puzzling claims, like “thus, within-person and between-person invariance were insufficient”

Lots of questions…but skeptical of claims

I’ve spent the last 8 years(!) working from the position that HiTOP relies too much on analyses of traditional diagnoses, baking in limitations of the DSM, and that we need to move to symptom-level analyses to fix it

It turns out that rebuilding HiTOP from the ground up doesn’t change much 💀

Same.

What term should we use for when we use the brains nature gave us instead of the artificial ones we have created?

Nature brains? Live brains? Certified organic brains? Gray brains? Sticky brains? Something else?

Undergraduate wet-brain work, you mean

But that’s what they are! If your brain goes dry you die. True fact

What a time to be doing research. Leading a project now where collaborators are debating whether it is more compelling to have AI review/summarize something or whether we should use our wet-brains to do it.

The pro AI one accused me of wanting to "armchair it"

Treating patients as a psychologist is so much better when working with a good psychiatrist. The best psychiatrist I've ever worked with, Xavier Jimenez, has started posting on instagram/YouTube. Check his posts out:

Good points. It’s sort of in between the two.

More stuff that one could conceive of and be curious about (as we were) but on deeper reflection (which we didn’t) are really hard to interpret and would just sort of add several hundred coefficients (and be a pain to run). So, feeling dumb now.
