The LifespanHealth project will use brain imaging and genetics to target a lifespan perspective on severe mental illness. The project aims at the discovery of biomarkers for early detection and prevention of mental illness in youths, and increase our knowledge about the underlying pathophysiology over the course of the illness. LifespanHealth thus sets out to contribute to the current global efforts toward personalized treatment and long-term care of people with severe mental illness.
