Nagy A. Youssef researches biological treatments for mood and stress-related psychiatric disorders, with particular focus on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT, a treatment using electrical stimulation to treat severe depression, mania, and catatonia) and its effects on cognition and related conditions. His work also spans epigenetics (how stress and trauma can change gene activity without altering DNA sequence), gut microbiome-related biomarkers, and suicide risk in major depressive disorder. This research combines clinical psychiatric treatment studies with molecular and biological markers of mental illness.
