Description

Approximately 15 percent of primary health care center attendees suffer from mental disorders in Sweden. Mental disorders have complex causes.

Our aims in this project are to investigate the association between lifestyle factors and epigenetic changes, and the role of lifestyle factors associated with epigenetic changes in mental disorders.
