The OPAD Lab studies anxiety and mood disorders (internalizing disorders) with the overlapping aims:

(1) To identify and understand the emotional, psychological, and environmental (stress) factors associated with the development and persistence of internalizing disorders.

(2) To develop clinically-usefully risk tools that optimally predict the onset, severity, course, and treatment response of internalizing disorders and associated outcomes (e.g., suicide)

(3) To improve the assessment, diagnosis, and classification of internalizing disorders
