More congratulations are in order, this time for psychologist Bethany Richmond who presented her research in Glasgow today at the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies conference! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Bethany's research is the first to examine worries about illness progression amongst parents of children with juvenile arthritis and diabetes.

Her study found that these worries are prevalent and impactful, being associated with worse mental health and quality of life among parents. Bethany's important research will pave the way for new treatments targeting this fear.

Fantastic work, Bethany! 👏🏼

A big congratulations to psychologist Daelin Coutts-Bain, who has been awarded The University of Sydney's School of Psychology Publication Prize for the second year in a row! 🏆

Daelin was selected for this award based on his PhD research, which explored people's fears of their mental illness returning or worsening. He led the development of a new measure of this fear, which was recently published in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology.

Well done, Daelin! 🎉

We’re thrilled to share that two members of the Menzies Anxiety Centre team – our Director Dr Rachel Menzies and Administrative and Research Assistant Jye Marchant – have just had a paper published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders!

This meta-analysis is the first to examine the relationship between death anxiety and sleep difficulties. Across 15 studies, they found that higher death anxiety is typically associated with poorer sleep, including greater insomnia symptoms, nighttime panic attacks, and more.

These findings suggest that for many people, fears about mortality may be an overlooked contributor to disrupted sleep – opening the door to new treatment pathways that address both death anxiety and sleep.
