I had the pleasure of presenting my research on using resting state fMRI to study the brain of adolescents with major depressive disorder at the World Association of Stress Related and Anxiety Disorders (WASAD) 2023 conference in Zurich, Switzerland. It was a great opportunity to share my findings and receive feedback from some of the leading experts and researchers in the field. I also enjoyed learning from the diverse and high-quality research presented at the conference, which covered topics such as coping strategies, resilience, and therapy. I am grateful to the organizers of WASAD 2023 for inviting me to speak at this wonderful event and to my co-authors and collaborators for their ongoing support! We are in the final stages of finishing the manuscript.
