Research study details

Overview

We want to understand more about psychosis and related conditions. To do so, this study will collect information about you from clinical (medical) records, from blood and other samples, and from questionnaires.

Overall, we aim at improving the lives of individuals experiencing psychosis, by:

• Understanding these conditions better, including risk factors.
• Helping to develop tailored early treatment approaches.
• Allowing us to recruit people for future studies.

The GLAD study is aiming to better understand depression and anxiety in order to find effective treatment and improve the lives of people experiencing these conditions.

The PROTECT study is an exciting opportunity to take part in a major UK research study. It aims to understand how healthy brains age and why people develop dementia. The PROTECT study is run by the University of Exeter and King's College London, in partnership with the NHS.

Overview

Persecutory delusions (inaccurate beliefs that others intend to harm you) for example, "MI5 and the police are trying to torture me" are very common in severe mental health disorders such as schizophrenia. People withdraw from everyday life. This seriously affects their mental health and physical health. 

Existing treatments often don't work well enough. In the UK 150,000 NHS patients experience these distressing thoughts despite treatment. This is why we developed the Feeling Safe Programme.
