Research

  • My research is based on Swedish national registers and concerns suicide,
    higher education, bipolar disorder, and somatic as well as social outcomes
    related to bipolar disorder. For my degree project in medicine, I
    investigated morbidity and mortality in persons with chronic liver disease
    exposed to statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or angiotensin
    receptor blockers. In the future, I am interested in investigating
    comorbidities between somatic and psychiatric conditions combining both
    clinical and register-based epidemiological research.
