Depression & anhedonia
Population patterns of mood symptoms, pleasure and functioning; the relationship of depression to pain, sleep and other conditions.
Depression, pain and sleep ↗RESEARCH AREAS
Psychiatry in the population.
We study symptoms as they occur in real lives: together, in context, and across time. These themes organize the work without reducing people to a single diagnosis.

Connected questions
Each theme links to existing source material where it is available.
Anxiety & irritability
How distress, anxiety and irritability are expressed, co-occur and change in the community.
Related symposium presentations →Psychotic features & complex presentations
Clinical features that may cross diagnostic boundaries and require careful differential assessment.
Depression with psychotic features ↗Attention, activity & vigilance
Exploring how daytime sleepiness, alertness and behavior may shape psychiatric presentations.
Connected Sleep-EVAL research aims ↗Sleep & mental health
Insomnia, hypersomnolence and circadian timing in relation to mood, anxiety and daily functioning.
Sleep and mental disorders ↗Comorbidity & trajectories
Longitudinal phenotyping: what persists, what changes and which combinations matter.
How Psy-EVAL approaches these questions →WHY CONTEXT MATTERS
Symptoms do not occur in isolation.
Sleep, pain, medical conditions and treatment histories can all affect the interpretation of psychiatric symptoms. A structured research framework records these relationships so they can be examined rather than assumed away.
