And now it’s time for our final #IEPA12 keynote from Rodrigo A Bressan @RodrigoAffonse1 who is going to talk about Widening the clinical and geographical frontiers of neurodevelopmental studies - the Brazilian High Risk Cohort Study Image
We’ve heard this statistic a few times during #IEPA12
75% of mental disorders start before age 18. Bressan adds that 50% of mental disorders start before age 14.
So “we need to understand the biology very early on, not after onset”. ImageImage
When we start identifying people with symptoms we don’t have good predictors of trajectories, says Bressan

Our next speaker is Louise Arseneault @L_Arseneault from King’s College London who will be talking about Early intervention for developing positive social relationships: can we prevent bullying victimization and loneliness? #IEPA12 Image
The absence of social relationships, or problematic ones may lead to mental health problems, says Arseneault. At the same time, positive social relationships can protect our health and wellbeing. They are important malleable factors that can be target by interventions. #IEPA12
Transition periods in the human life course (starting school, relationships, jobs and retirement) are potentially tricky times, says Arseneault #IEPA12 Image

Our next #IEPA12 plenary talk comes from Juliana Onwumere @Families_MH from King’s College London who will be sharing some “Tales from the frontline: Understanding the impact of psychosis on families” Image
Onwumere begins by talking about the cognitive model of caregiving in psychosis, which she published with Elizabeth Kuipers and Paul Bebbington in @TheBJPsych back in 2010 doi.org/10.1192/bjp.bp… #IEPA12
We know that people with lived experience of psychosis can have significantly reduced social networks and informal carers can play an important role in these networks #IEPA12

Our next talk at #IEPA12 is by @pimcuijpers from @VUamsterdam who will be focussing on preventing the onset of depressive disorders: the opportunities and challenges pimcuijpers.com/blog/ Image
“I’m always happy to talk about research on preventing the onset of depression", as there are lots of opportunities for helping people, says Cuijpers #IEPA12 Image
Preventing depression: a global priority

This 2012 viewpoint by Cuijpers in @jama made the case for depression prevention and highlighted that the global biomedical community were ready for this idea (preventing depression) #IEPA12
