SUMMARY
The research of our group is mainly focused on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the rest of neuro-psycho-developmental disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Substance Use Disorders, Transcultural Psychiatry, Psychiatric Liaison and Psychiatry Genetics.
The most relevant findings of the Group in the different areas of research were: (1) the identification of ADHD susceptibility genes through the first Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) in adults with ADHD and the study of new DSM-5 criteria in adults with ADHD; (2) the study of the cost of Borderline Personality Disorder in Catalonia ; (3) the participation in the new European Psychiatric Association Guidance mental health care for migrants;(4) the study of clinical differences between cocaine-induced psychotic disorder and psychotic symptoms in cocaine-dependent patients and (5) the study of psychosocial factors and antiepileptic drug use related to delayed diagnosis of refractory psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
