Danielle Herreen
School of Psychology
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
I am currently completing a combined Doctor of Philosophy/Master of Psychology (Clinical) program under the supervision of Dr Ian Zajac, Associate Professor Simon Rice, and Dr Lynn Ward, in partnership with the CSIRO at SAHMRI. I am broadly interested in research and practice relating to lifespan development, mood and anxiety disorders, men's health, and ageing. My PhD is exploring how depressive symptomology differs for men and women across the lifespan, with a particular focus on improving our understanding and assessment of depressive symptomology in older men.
I am a combined Doctor of Philosophy/Master of Psychology (Clinical) Candidate, in partnership with CSIRO Health & Biosecurity at SAHMRI. My research is focusing on better understanding and assessing externalising depressive symptomology in men across the lifespan to better recognise and facilitate treatment for males experiencing mental health difficulties.
