      Good question. I’ve mainly focused on wellbeing in the general population. The aim is to see how certain cognitive biases promote positive mental health in people who are doing well, in order to bring this back into looking at how to improve people with emotional disorder ‘s wellbeing. That way it’s not only trying to “fix” people, but to help prevent the disorder in the first place, or to boost people up.

      I want to move a bit more into looking at resilience to emotional disorders specifically. But, I need to finish writing my thesis first 🙂
