Trajectories of mental health and illness across the lifespan

The study will use Finnish register data to study trends in mental disorders, service use, and mental health trajectories,  focusing on children and adolescents. We will examine how clinical, social, and demographic factors predict mental health trajectories and outcomes, and will assess how treatments impact them. Findings aim to inform service development, improve treatment and risk prediction,  and support developing strategies for influencing long-term mental health and functional outcomes.
