 Project Summary  Helen Egger, M.D. (Young Investigator 2000) of Duke University, is investigating how biological reactivity, environmental stressors, and rearing environment influence the development of childhood anxiety and depression. Excessive reactivity to stress and novelty have been linked to the presence and development of depressive and anxiety disorders in both children and their first-degree relatives. Dr. Egger plans to conduct a program of on-site training and ongoing consultation with experts in this area of study; establish a laboratory for physiologic assessment of reactivity and childhood depression and anxiety disorders; and conduct a pilot study of identical twins and their parents. This work may provide important information on the role of stress and parenting behavior to reactivity and psychopathology in childhood. Program Area: MOOD DISORDERS\Depression (Unipolar) |
