This study follows children and teens over time to learn how common mental health conditions like depression and anxiety begin. If you have some early signs or a family history, participating could help researchers understand and improve early detection.
This study looks at how young people's mental health develops over time. It compares youth who have already sought help for mental health concerns with those who haven't, to better understand what helps or hinders well-being.
This study collects information about mental health symptoms and body/genetic samples to better understand how different mental health conditions are related. Some people may also have brain scans (PET or MRI) if they can safely complete them.
This study looks at how early life stress may be linked to depression, using brain scans. You’ll be asked about your history and asked to do brain imaging to help researchers understand these brain and mood changes.
This study does brain imaging (brain scans) in babies to better understand early brain development and how factors like family history and COVID-19 might relate to development. It may help researchers learn which babies could need extra support later.
This study looks at brain and behavior in children and young adults with autism, ADHD, or Developmental Coordination Disorder, and also in infants who were born prematurely or had birth complications. It aims to find biological markers (signs in the body) that may predict anxiety and depression, which could lead to better support and treatments.
