Mental disorders are highly heritable conditions constituting a leading cause of disability and reduced life quality from an early age. Still, knowledge about how mental health problems develop is still very limited. To inform early detection and interventions, it is essential to identify factors contributing to the development of mental health problems. We will examine trajectories of mental health over time and investigate the influences of genetic, environmental, neural, and neurocognitive factors.
The current project will provide new insights into the development of mental health problems, including risk, protective, resilience and recovery factors. We expect to generate knowledge that could benefit health policymakers, health service planners, clinical practice, and thereby also patients, their families, and the public.
