MOOD AND ANXIETY DISORDERS RESEARCH GROUP

The Mood and Anxiety Disorders Research Group (MADRG) is a multidisciplinary clinical research group comprised of several psychologists and psychiatrists located at the two main teaching hospitals in Winnipeg.  This includes the Mood Disorders Clinic at the Health Sciences Centre and the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at St. Boniface General Hospital.  The group received official designation as a Research Group in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Manitoba in 1997.  In addition to the faculty members, MAD has graduate student representation from the Departments of Psychology, Psychiatry, and Community Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba. <>The MADRG is actively involved in a number of local, national and international research projects covering a wide range of topics in mood disorders and anxiety disorders.  The group has several ongoing treatment outcome studies concentrating on cognitive-behavior therapy, pharmacotherapy, and combination treatments.  Current research interests are many and varied and range from neuroimaging research to cognitive and childhood risk factors to psychiatric epidemiology. A variety of clinical problems are addressed such as depression, social anxiety, panic disorder, insomnia, problem gambling, and intense illness worry. Many projects have received financial support either from government granting agencies or from private industry.
