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.I am mainly interested in research on suicide prevention and in investigating how health care
can be improved for individuals with comorbidities between somatic and psychiatric conditions.
