EnviroMood Symposium
Mental health disorders, particularly major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders, are among the most significant global health challenges, causing severe individual suffering and a substantial socioeconomic burden on society. Given that the onset and progression of both disorders are highly influenced by contextual factors, the core idea of the EnviroMood project is that plasticity serves as an underlying mechanism for both resilience and vulnerability, depending on the environmental context.
Join us for this event to learn more about this fascinating topic from scientists who are experts in the field.
