Bio
Manpreet Singh, M.D., Stanford University, will explore the potential negative side effects of antidepressant medication given to youth at high risk for psychiatric disorders. In youths with emotional dysregulation, side effects have been noted including irritability, agitation, elevated mood. For some youth, these adverse events lead to the development of lifelong psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder (BD). Looking at youth with family histories of BD, Dr. Singh will investigate how antidepressant use, combined with typical psychotherapy, alters brain activity and triggers negative side effects.
