Research Interests
Bipolar Spectrum Psychopathology, Psychosis, Emergence of Symptoms, Early Detection of Bipolar Symptoms
Research Description
I am interested in bipolar spectrum psychopathology, particularly identifying dimensions within the bipolar spectrum. I believe these differential expressions of these dimensions could enhance our understanding of symptom severity and prognosis. Additionally, much of my research focuses on subclinical expressions of bipolar symptoms and resulting impairment.
