Psychiatric comorbidity and intergenerational transmission of mental health problems – Erik Pettersson's research group

We study why individuals who have one psychiatric condition are more likely to receive all other psychiatric conditions (i.e., comorbidity). We also investigate the intergenerational transmission of mental health problems. To address these issues, we apply multivariate behavior genetic and quasi-causal methods to the Swedish population-based health registers and the Swedish Twin Register.
