I shared early insights into subjective #stress trajectories over the #menstrualcycle from the first 26 participants and how they relate to affective symptom changes (very preliminary; data collection ongoing). 📈

Excited for my talk at #WASAD2025! I’ll share some initial findings from my ongoing study, focusing on the trajectories of everyday life stress across the menstrual cycle and how they relate to premenstrual symptoms ✨ I’ll present at 10:15 at lecture hall 2. Come by! :)

Exciting news: the TIDE study, my study about premenstrual exacerbation (PME) of depression, has started! In the coming year, we aim to include 60 participants with depression and a regular menstrual cycle to examine the prevalence and trajectories of PME in depression. 📈👩🏼‍🏫

How are #stress and premenstrual symptoms connected? And are those with a #trauma history more likely to have #PMS or #PMDD? 🌩️ Our systematic review & three meta-analyses combine evidence from 66 studies to explore these questions. Excited our work is finally out! ✨ 👉 doi.org/10.1192/bjp....

Feeling truly honored to have received an Early Career Award at #ICBM2025! Thank you to the International Society of Behavioral Medicine for recognizing my work!

Excited to share my work tomorrow morning at #ICBM2025 in the Reproductive Health session (10am, HS06)! ✨ Curious how stress and premenstrual symptoms are connected? I’ll be presenting results from a meta-analysis and first insights from my ongoing EMA study.

Recently, our team member @celinebencker.bsky.social gave a talk on premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) at the Berufsverband Österreichischer PsychologInnen. The session was well attended and sparked inspiring discussions!

We had a great time at last week’s Department Get-together—we shared our recent research developments 🧪📊 with colleagues, followed by mini-golf ⛳ and a delicious dinner 🍽️. A perfect blend of scientific exchange and team bonding!

Thanks to @celinebencker.bsky.social and the @stresslabvienna.bsky.social for the warm welcome and inspiring exchange in Vienna! I’m glad that our PMDD research opened up discussions on cycle-sensitive understanding of psychopathology - a perspective much needed for more individualized approaches

Excited to welcome @sibelnayman.bsky.social to Vienna! Thank you for yesterday’s insightful and thought-provoking talk. It certainly has been a productive and energizing week so far!

First day at the @stresslabvienna.bsky.social, visiting @celinebencker.bsky.social and the research team! Excited to spend the week exploring the theoretical background of stress parameters across the menstrual cycle and preparing our meta-analyses on cortisol re-/activity in premenstrual disorders
