General Info

The OPAD Lab studies anxiety and mood disorders – also know as internalizing psychopathology, and conducts research with three overlapping aims:

(1) To identify and understand the emotional, psychological, and environmental factors (e.g., personality, emotion regulation, stress, trauma) associated with the development and persistence of internalizing psychopathology.

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

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