DeFREE Goals & Vision
DeFREE focuses on developing the psychological science of depression recurrence prevention.
Specific aims are to:
- Develop dynamic prediction theories integrating personal characteristics, risk factors and individual stressors to explain why some people who have remitted from depression relapse over time, while others remain well with the passage of time.
- Evaluate the genetic contributions of depression trajectories to depression onset, recovery and recurrence.
- Understand the cognitive profile trajectories of people who are in remission from depression versus those who have recurrent depressive episodes.
- Develop effective personalised prevention treatments for depression.
