Interests

I am interested in the effects of antidepressant medication on the teenage brain both in terms of structural and functional development. I am also interested in trying to understand why some depressed teenagers are prescribed antidepressants whereas others aren't, how do those teenagers differ and can we predict which teens will respond to antidepressants and which won't?
