The main research areas of the child and adolescent psychiatry are a) developmental trajectories of child and adolescent psychiatric disorders with associated risks and protective factors, b) their underlying etiological and neurobiological mechanisms, c) development of individualized treatment strategies, and d) development of evidence-based clinical guidelines. These research foci are mainly investigated within national and international research networks and multicenter studies. In the coming years, new longitudinal epidemiological cohort studies will be investigated in order to characterize disorder-specific and overarching pathophysiological mechanisms and their developmental trajectories. Of central interest are developmental aspects and developmental risks, multimodality, and ecological aspects of our longitudinal and clinical-translational studies.

These project research findings will help stratify the heterogeneity of disorders, provide specific diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment-related biomarkers, and promote more effective personalized approaches to prevention and treatment. Another research focus is the linkage between clinical treatment and research. To this end, the two innovative service models "Adolescent Center-Emotion Regulation" and "Adolescent Center-Psychosis" will be scientifically evaluated. In addition, we want to use the opportunity to integrate scientific evidence into the treatment of those affected, which is why it is important for us to contribute our expertise to the creation and regular updating of evidence-based S3 guidelines.

The five working groups of the department (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, Developmental Neurosciences in Psychiatry, Clinical Neurophysiology of Childhood and Adolescence, Clinical Psychopharmacology of Childhood and Adolescence) are strongly networked among each other, focusing on different topics and different methods.
