How can neuro-biological models help us understand adolescent depression?

This seminar is the first in a series of three with a focus on Adolescent Depression, and is organised as a collaboration between The University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow and University of Reading.

The overarching objectives of the seminar series are to advance theoretical understanding of adolescent depression, and discuss the implications on developing more effective evidence based interventions and preventative strategies.
