Pubertal development and mental health

Professor

Aarhus University

Professor Cecilia Høst Ramlau-Hansen dives into the national registers of Denmark, studying a cohort of 16,000 adolescents.

This is in order to investigate whether there may be a causal link between disturbed pubertal development and poor mental health such as depression, anxiety, stress, eating disorders, risk-taking behaviour and deliberate self-harm.
She received a Lundbeck Foundation Ascending Investigator research grant of DKK 4,999,720.
