    1. Design, Setting, and Participants  In a population-based registry study, data on all Finnish citizens born between January 1, 1985, and December 31, 1997, whose demographic, health, and school information were linked from nationwide registers were included. Cohort members were followed up from August 1 in the year they completed ninth grade (approximately aged 16 years) until a diagnosis of mental disorder, emigration, death, or December 31, 2019, whichever occurred first. Data analysis was performed from May 15, 2023, to February 8, 2024.

      Mental disorders are indirectly contagious – i.e. negative emotional and behavioral patterns that cause illness are transferred even to friends of people with disorders, a study in Finland involving 700,000 people has shown.

      The data showed that having friends diagnosed with mental disorders in the 9th grade of secondary school increased the risk of developing mental disorders later in life, such as mood swings, anxiety and eating disorders, by up to 18%.

    1. Below is a two page spread summarizing a Fast Company.com article about the Pennebaker method, as covered in Timothy Wilson’s book Redirect:

      Worth looking into this. The idea of the Pennebaker method goes back to a paper of his in 1986 that details the health benefits (including mental) of expressive writing. Sounds a lot like the underlying idea of morning pages, though that has the connotation of clearing one's head versus health related benefits.

      Compare/contrast the two methods.

      Is there research underpinning morning pages?
