Overview
Overview
My research takes a lifecourse developmental approach to study common mental health problems including depression and anxiety. I use prospective population and high-risk cohorts to study the development of mental health problems across childhood, adolescence and into adulthood. I am interested in protective factors that promote mental health resilience in high risk children and that optimize long-term outcomes. My research also examines population-level change in young people's mental health, and tests which factors explain the recent increase in youth anxiety and depression. I belong to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Section in the Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences, and am co-director for the Wolfson Centre for Young People's Mental Health.

Teaching
I teach and mentor undergraduate medical students, offer a number of medical Student Selected Component projects focused on child and adolescent mental health and supervise research projects for the intercalated Psychology and Medicine degree.
Research
My research focuses on the following main areas.
1) Developmental life course mental health research. Adult mental heath problems have their routes in childhood, and childhood disorders typically have long-lasting effects on health and development. My research uses prospective longitudinal data to examine the links between child and adult mental health.
2) Mental health resilience. Many children in high-risk groups develop mental health problems, but some show remarkably positive outcomes. Identifying modifiable protective factors can help identify new targets for prevention and intervention.
3) Time trends in child and adolescent mental health. My long-standing research in this area focuses on tracking prevalence trends, on changes in the long-term outcomes for children with mental health problems, and on reasons that explain (or not) trends in mental health.
