=About Me= My name is Jess Janos and I am a graduate student in Clinical Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as a graduate student advisor for the Helping Give Away Psychological Science HGAPS student-led organization and 501(c)3 nonprofit. My graduate mentor, Dr. Eric Youngstrom, is an expert in pediatric bipolar disorder, assessment, and dissemination, and co-founder of the HGAPS club. I am broadly interested in the phenomenology of mood disorders in youth, with a particular emphasis on early identification and treatment of pediatric bipolar disorder. My Master’s thesis explores the relationship between puberty and mood in an epidemiological sample, and I look forward to investigating prodromal symptoms and other avenues of early identification to improve diagnosis and aid in the development of evidence-based treatments.
