Participate in Research Phone: 519-646-6000 ext. 65196 Email: FEMAP@lhsc.on.ca It is the expectation (not requirement) that FEMAP patients will volunteer to participate in studies of the nature, causes of and best way to serve our future patients. Only through such volunteerism will we be able to progress towards better care of individuals with mood and anxiety concerns. |
Get InvolvedFEMAP is involved in multiple research projects, and is working with a number of professionals in various academic disciplines. We also train undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students in clinical research involving mood and anxiety disorders. Currently, we are involved in several projects that use functional brain imaging (with functional MRI scans) to study: connections between depression and self-injurious behavior, emotional regulation in mood disorders with and without regular marijuana use, exercise as a treatment of depression, and understanding stigma for youth with emotional concerns. We are investigating the ways in which mood problems, anxiety problems and substance abuse affect the “reward processing centers” of the brain. For more detailed information about each of our studies, please see below.
