Mindy Westlund Schreiner

Mindy Westlund Schreiner studies the brain mechanisms underlying depression, rumination, and self-injury in adolescents and young adults, using brain imaging (MRI/fMRI, white matter analysis) to understand risk and treatment response. Her work also examines how digital mental health tools, like crisis text lines and apps, provide care access to at-risk youth. This research bridges brain-based measures with clinical interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressant treatment.

Publication output has been relatively steady but modest over the last decade, with a peak in 2018 and a slight decline to about 4-5 papers per year in recent years.
