Description

Symptoms of affective and addictive disorders are common during adolescence and change over time. In resilient adolescents, symptoms may disappear, while in others, these symptoms persist or even transition to a disorder.

The aim is to understand the complexity of the development of affective disorders such as anxiety, mood, stress, and addictive disorders such as alcohol, drug abuse, excessive gaming, or social media use in adolescents living in urban areas. For this purpose, the Amsterdam Born Children and their Development cohort will be used.

An interdisciplinary approach is taken in investigating dynamic interactions between multi-level factors including individual, social, and environmental health determinants.
