Mental Health for All

My research investigates the social, cultural, environmental and biological determinants of mental health conditions and the design and evaluation of psychosocial interventions for their prevention and care. The specific mental health issues I work on are early childhood development, autism, emotional disorders in adolescents, depression and psychoses.
