Speaker

  Headshot of Hanna Stevens

Hanna Stevens, MD, PhD, is an adult, adolescent and child psychiatrist who joined the faculty of the Child Study Center at the Yale School of Medicine in 2010. She also runs a basic neuroscience laboratory, directing a program of research on model systems of early brain development. She is particularly interested in the impact of prenatal genetic and environmental factors on childhood behavioral problems and how early events in brain development relate to the onset of major mental illness, such as depression and schizophrenia, in adolescence and adulthood. The long term goals of her research program are to better understand the etiologies of child and adult mental illnesses and to improve outcomes for pregnant mothers affected by mood and anxiety disorders.
