Side Effects of Psychiatric Therapeutics Program
Overview
This program supports research to elucidate the biomedical and psychosocial risk factors for the development of treatment-emergent side effects of psychiatric therapeutics, and to develop interventions to predict, prevent and/or mitigate these side effects.
Areas of Emphasis
- Studies to evaluate the mechanisms of treatment–emergent side effects of psychiatric therapeutics.
- Studies to predict treatment-emergent side effects of psychiatric therapeutics and facilitate individualized pharmacological therapeutics.
- Studies to identify intervention development to mitigate adverse effects of psychopharmacological agents.
