Can you share your perspective? The SUNRISE study team is exploring how research engages with people’s personal direct experiences of mental health problems as a source of insight and understanding.
It’s clear that subjective experiences shape how researchers think, feel, and decide what questions to ask. Yet, this work remains undervalued in traditional hierarchies of evidence. The SUNRISE team, funded by the Wellcome Trust, have explored the question with phenomenologists, neuroscientists, sociologists, and many others, and are looking for the views of mental health researchers from all disciplines!

The team argue it’s time to move beyond the old “objective vs subjective” divide and bring real human experiences to the centre of science. They also call for more interdisciplinary research, including that led or co-produced by people with lived experience.
