Mood Disorders and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorders, and schizophrenia, are among some of the most prominent yet mysterious disorders whose causes have yet to be understood. There is intense research interest in and curiosity about these disorders; accordingly, we designed this course to serve as an educational bridge between what we know about the psychology and the neurobiology of these important disorders. We cover each disorder in depth, delving into the symptoms, diagnostic criteria, causes, treatments, in addition to the neurobiological changes and recent research about the disorders. This course is perfect for someone who is curious about these disorders and has basic or introductory knowledge in psychology and neuroscience concepts. If you would like to learn about basic neuroscience prior to taking this course, you can take the Basics of Neuroscience course by Joy Ismail on Udemy.
