Personalized Intervention for Psychosocial Problems

- Describe depression, adolescent development and disruption of the threat system.
- Briefly review the evidence based treatments already available to treat adolescent depression and the limitations of these approaches.
- Consider the solution of personalization.
- Be exposed to an approach in which biological markers predicting treatment response are identified.
