Understanding the impact of life experiences across mental health difficulties, OCD, PTSD and anxiety
We are scientists at the University of Oxford looking for (UK/Ireland) volunteers who are 18 and older and identify as having experiences of:
1) Obsessive-compulsive disorder
2) Panic Disorder or generalised anxiety disorder
3) Post-traumatic stress disorder
4) No previous experience of mental health difficulties
We are looking to understand how adverse life experience may impact mental health difficulties. A greater understanding of the interaction of these will help us to develop more effective psychological support for these people.
Taking part in our research would involve a short interview (via Teams or telephone) followed by completing some questionnaires. Please follow the link here to our participant information sheet. If you are interested, you may contact us at stressresearch@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk to arrange an interview.
