We believe it is important to know the trajectories of common psychiatric disorders by:

1. Identifying course, time to event
2. Understanding determinants of treatment outcomes
3. Establishing core treatment outcome criteria to incorporate patient-centred approaches
4. Understanding intended and unintended mortality (e.g., suicide and opioid overdose)
5. Characterizing psychopathology overlap among psychiatric disorders
6. Identifying clusters of comorbidities

We are positioned to address these questions by establishing a psychiatric cohort (onset 2010) with study participants spanning a full range of real-life sampling frame: community settings, hospital inpatient and outpatient settings and specialized community-based clinics. Our project is supported by richness and depth of data collected, transdiagnostic approach, biological samples, ability to have record linkage to add big data to the existing cohort from other sources.
