Amelia is a PhD student at the University of Oxford researching treatment-resistant (also known as difficult to treat, recurrent, life-long) depression. That is when people take anti-depressants but feel that their mood is getting worse or staying the same. Amelia hopes to help these people by telling their stories and giving advice to general practitioners (GPs). She has an interest in this area because she has bipolar disorder. Her interests include anxiety, bipolar, depression, suicide Ideation, qualitative research and primary care.
