New published research:
Incidence of psychotic disorders by birth cohort: a population-based cohort study in Ontario, CanadaStudy size: 12.1 million people born in Ontario (1960-2009)Source: https://www.cmaj.ca/content/198/4/E118Slide 1:
70% higher rate of psychotic disorder diagnoses in people born 2000-2004 compared to those born 1975-1979Side 2:
60% increase in psychotic disorder diagnoses among 14-20 year-olds between 1997-2023.“It raises concerns that there are some social or environment changes that are occurring that are causing an increase.”Slide 3: The Unanswered Question
We don’t know why psychosis rates are rising in younger generationsWhat we know:
– 60% increase in diagnoses (ages 14-20)
– Affects recent birth cohorts more severely
– Started climbing in early 2000sWhat we don’t know:
– Primary cause remains unclear
– Could be social media, cannabis, environmental factors, or combination
– More research urgently neededOther source:

#OnThisDay in #CanadianHistoryOn May 24, 1918, women won the right to vote in federal elections in Canada when the government passed “An Act to confer the Electoral Franchise upon Women”, thereby removing gender as a barrier to voting. This did not mean that all women were granted the right to vote; some were still excluded on the basis of other factors, such as ethnicity.#TodayinHistory #CanadianHistory #Womensrights #RighttoVote #canadaSources:
