Research

I focus my research on understanding and addressing mental suffering in young people by combining biomedical, psychological, social, and systemic perspectives. Specifically, I study depression, dissociation, anxiety, sleep problems, overwhelming emotions, and their links to stress, trauma, inflammation, biological aging, and brain development. My aim is to create and test new treatment models that are effective, empowering, and contextually relevant for young people experiencing these challenges.

However much I appreciate science and its applications, the limits of relying only on biomedical science in the field of human suffering are clear. Too often, the role of scientific knowledge and techniques is overstated, which can get in the way of putting other helpful approaches into practice. I am guided by the belief that mental suffering can be understood as ever-changing experiences of dynamic contextual and even trans-contextual phenomena. For this reason, I value perspectives that go beyond the reductionist, allopathic and biomedical approaches. These approaches have undoubtedly contributed in many beneficial ways, but I see that complementary perspectives are still missing—among them social and psychological sciences, holistic and indigenous wisdom, and complex living system theory.

In my research I apply methods that investigate questions from subjective, objective and intersubjective (shared beliefs & assumptions) perspectives. Mental suffering can therefore be addressed on many levels, from the individual biology to the complex systems we live in and are part of. Our task as researchers is to understand this complexity as best we can and to find ways to intervene as far “upstream” as possible.

To build the foundation for this work, we first established how mental suffering and distress in young people could best be measured, if at all. We then explored the links between stress and trauma and bodily mechanisms such as inflammation and biological aging in this age group, and examined how the function and structure of the developing brain are affected. With this groundwork in place, we were able to begin creating novel treatment models for young people with mental suffering, and finally test whether these new approaches were effective and genuinely helpful in practice.

The TARA research project

Training for Awareness Resilience and Action is 12-week group intervention, based on the neuroscience of adolescent depression and incorporates yoga-based practices and a socio-ecological approach. The theoretical framework was developed based on the neuroscience of teenage depression. Preliminary studies at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has shown TARA to be feasible, safe and effective in reducing symptoms of depression and social and generalized anxiety in both clinically and sub-clinically depressed adolescents. A series of studies from UCSF verify the hypothesized brain change after the TARA-program. At Umeå University we have also conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare TARA to standard treatment for depression in young people and the results support that TARA is more effective in treating depressive symptoms in young people compared to standard treatment at 6 months follow up.

Bioindicators of depression in young people

This line of research focuses on the special characteristics of depression in young people, some of which are different from in adults. This is extremenly important knowledge as it has implications for how to design age adapted treatment. In summary, the bioindicator changes we have identified are similar to what is seen in stress related disorders in general and compatible with an increased allostactic load. We have found no depression specific biomarkers, which indicates that depression often is a stress or trauma related disorder in young people. We have identified dampened autonomic regulation, increased systemic inflammation, accelerated biological aging and changed breathing patterns.

The neuroscience of depression in young people

This functional MRI- research was conducted at UCSF and was the foundation for the development of TARA. Functional MRI was used to assess brain change in adolescent depression. In summary, it was found that functional connectivity in regions of the brain involved with self-referential processing, emotion regulation and interoceptive awareness was different in depressed compared to healthy teenagers.

How to measure mental health in young people

Psychological symptoms are often measured by self-report questionnaires. These instruments can be used for screening, for assessment and as a measurement of treatment effect. They need to be fully adapted for young peoples´ symptoms and language and user-friendly. We have translated, adapated and validated several such instruments for example the Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale for youths (MADRS-Y), Reynold´s Adolescent Depression Scale, 2nd edition (RADS2) and the Compassion Engagement and Action Scale for Youth (CEASY) and item banks from the Patient-Report Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS).

Voices of depressed youth

When mental health problems in young people are measured by predefined self-report questionnaires, assessment scales or structured clinical interviews the richness and nuances of a person´s lived experiences is missing. This project aims to highlight the voices and narratives of young people with depression and their close ones, by using qualitative interviews. Topics that are brought up are how young people view the causes of their depression, how they experience getting depressed, how they are being met in the health care system, what helped and what could have been done differently.

Psychedelic Clinical Sciences

The aim of this line of research is to conduct a series of preparatory studies to then be able to fully investigate the efficacy of using psychedelic assisted psychotherapy to treat depression in young people.
1. MDMA-assisted therapy for the treatment of young adults with therapy resistant depression
 We will explore the feasibility, preliminary efficacy and safety of an open-label application of MDMA in participants 18-25 years old, with treatment resistant depression. The long-term aim to conduct a fully powered multi-center randomized controlled trial of the project. 
2. The effect of psilocybin on MDD symptom severity and synaptic density
This is a a single dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II positron emission tomography study conducted at Karolinska Institutet with J Lundberg as PI. The recruitment is finalized. I have had a role as co-investigator with a focus on the psychological support of the participants. 
3. Adverse effects related to the use of psychedelics in wellness retreat setting
This project aims to explore the potential challenging, difficult or adverse experiences when psychedelics are applied in this new setting. The purpose is to mitigate potential psychological and medical risks for future participants and to learn how these substances ´can be administered safely and effectively in group settings in future clinical trials.

Improving mental health for future doctors - initial phase & seeking funding 

Physicians commonly suffer from stress, depression, and burnout and this negative trajectory begins already during medical school. In fact, half of the medical students worldwide suffer from burnout prior to residency. To address this problem, we adapted the well research TARA-model and applied it to medical students as targeted prevention S-TARA in a first feasibility study. We are now seeking funding to scale up this study to a randomized controlled trial. If
effective this online program may support medical students across the world.
