About this study

In plain language

This study looks at how severe irritability starts, continues, and responds to treatment. It is for children ages 4–17 with anxiety, mood problems, or parent-reported problems with irritability, emotions, or behavior.

This study aims to characterize key mechanisms underlying the development, maintenance, and treatment of severe irritability in a clinically heterogeneous sample of school-aged youth.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
