In February 2018, as part of a series of interviews with leading academics and researchers to celebrate the JCPP 60th Anniversary, we asked JCPP Editor, Dr Agyris Stringaris, to give us his reflections about the journal, how it influenced him, and his current work.
Dr Stringaris, is a clinician scientist, Chief of the Mood Brain and Development Unit at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, MD. He trained in Child Psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital in London (MRCPsych), and in neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London (PhD) and the National Institutes of Mental Health (Clinical Research Fellow) in the USA. Dr Stringaris’ aim is to understand why some young people become more depressed than others and how to improve our understanding and treatment of depression.
