The Psychiatry, Mental Health and Addictions Research Group at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute is a multidisciplinary team that over the past 14 years has focused its scientific activity on the research (both nationally and internationally) of clinical, therapeutic and etiopathogenic aspects of: Neurodevelopmental Disorders (especially Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome); Personality Disorders (especially Borderline Personality Disorder); Addictive behaviours (especially Dual Pathology and Smoking); Transcultural Psychiatry; Interconsultation and Liaison Psychiatry; Resistant Major Depressive Disorder; Perinatal psychiatry; and Child sexual abuse and maltreatment. At international level, it participates and/or coordinates several European projects of great repercussion in the area of ​​mental health. And at national level, it is the group 27 of the CIBERSAM (Centre for Biomedical Research in Mental Health Network-G27).
