Last week, Christian Rück took part in a panel discussion during Karolinska’s annual FoU Day. This year’s theme, “Goda vanor mot psykiska besvär – funkar det?” (“Healthy Habits Against Mental Illness – Do They Work?”), brought together researchers and clinicians from Psychiatry South Stockholm to discuss how healthy habits can impact mental health.
The panel discussed how research can be translated into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes. When asked what defines “good research,” Christian highlighted the importance of its practical application:
“Good research is more than just studies on paper—it’s research that reaches people in real-life settings and makes a difference.”
Alongside Christian, the panel featured Lina Martinsson, Maria Bragesjö, Sarah Gullbjörk, Henrik Malaise, Sandra Tamm, Kerstin Blom, Susanna Jernelöv, Cecilia Svanborg, Anna Irestig, moderated by Maria Larsson, chair of the Swedish Psychiatric Association.
