Depression is more common in females than in males, but it remains insufficiently understood why. Using data from the German National Cohort (NAKO) @nako.de, we investigated whether childhood maltreatment may contribute to this gender gap. https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.02.02.2634536604 Feb 2026 10:28 +0000at://did:plc:ul3vmdhbpszd2vrifpigewew/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdzo3kf3gs22https://bsky.app/profile/fstreit.bsky.social/post/3mdznri6vns22Looking forward to it!

Our analysis of over 170,000 participants shows that both current and former smokers face a higher lifetime risk of depression. #MentalHealth #ResearchNews #PublicHealth [contains quote post or other embedded content]27 Jan 2026 14:38 +0000at://did:plc:ul3vmdhbpszd2vrifpigewew/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdfydn2rcc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/fstreit.bsky.social/post/3lpm6ka22oc26Great to see this paper finally online, and happy we could contribute (a bit) to it! It's a big progress in regard to variant discovery (especially for the other 4 Big 5) but Ted and team also ran a wide range of super interesting follow-up analyses, that showcase the potential of the results. 🥳🧬 [contains quote post or other embedded content]20 May 2025 13:21 +0000at://did:plc:ul3vmdhbpszd2vrifpigewew/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpm6ka22oc26
