Comorbid Conditions of Attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (CoCA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Understanding mechanisms underlying comorbid disorders poses a challenge for developing precision medicine tools. Psychiatric disorders are highly comorbid, and are among the last areas of medicine, where classification is driven by phenomenology rather than pathophysiology. We will study comorbidity between the most frequent psychiatric conditions, ADHD, mood/anxiety, and substance use disorders, ...
