The Division of Psychiatry is internationally recognized for its research and teaching.

University of Edinburgh focuses on the mechanisms underlying the development of major psychiatric disorders, including:

• autism and learning difficulties
• bipolar disorder
• depression and mood disorders
• dementia
• schizophrenia
• cognition and behavior

They have a particular expertise in longitudinal, clinical and biological studies of clinical and population-based cohort studies of people with or at high risk of mental disorders. The studies they have recruited or have worked on include:

Edinburgh High Risk Studies of young people at high genetic cognitive risk for schizophrenia

• bipolar disorder and other related conditions
• Generation Scotland - a family and population-based study of 24,000 individuals recruited from the general population of Scotland.
• UK Biobank - a United Kingdome - and population-based study of more than half a million people from across England, Wales and Scotland

In psychiatric genetics, Edinburgh takes part in international genome-wide association studies of psychiatric disorders - including the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) and ENIGMA that seeks to identify the genetic causes of psychiatric disorders. Their work then utilities the findings in order to identify the environmental risk factors and neurobiological mechanisms of mental disorders, using genetic factors as causal anchors.
