Investigating the effectiveness of diagnosing and treating comorbid depression or anxiety in children and adolescents with post-traumatic stress disorder

Two-thirds of young people who experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) also have depression or anxiety, but there is very little evidence on how to best care for these young people. In the proposed research project, we will investigate whether it is beneficial to diagnose and to treat comorbid depression or anxiety in children and adolescents who have PTSD.
