MULTI-PSYCH is a precision medicine initiative that combines clinical, genetic, and nationwide register data.
It is a longitudinal cohort of 2668 individuals with depression, social anxiety disorder and panic disorder who have undergone internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT). All patients have been blood sampled and genotyped. Clinical and genetic data has been linked to several Swedish registers containing a wide range of variables from patient birth up to 10 years after the end of ICBT.
These variables include:
- Perinatal complications
- School grades
- Psychiatric and somatic comorbidity
- Dispensed medications
- Medical interventions and diagnoses
- Health care and social benefits
- Demographics
- Income
The aim of the project is to improve risk stratification, outcome prediction, and secondary preventive interventions.
