The Psychiatrically Ill Population Research  

Because of our department’s unique position in a children’s hospital, our study populations are characterized by severe mental illnesses, rare hereditary neurodevelopmental disorders, and other specialist cases such as offspring of parents with severe psychiatric disorders. This provides unique opportunities for scientific research in close collaboration with other medical specialties. We strive to unravel the biopsychosocial underpinnings of the onset and course of psychiatric disorders in childhood and adolescence through clinical longitudinal (intervention) studies.
