I am Opeyemi Odejimi (Ope), Mood disorder research project manager. My role is to develop and deliver Mental Health Mission projects related to Difficult to Treat Depression (DTD)/Treatment Resistant Depression.

I am currently leading the implementation of a digital research platform for service users with Difficult to Treat Depression (DTD)/Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD). This digital research platform creates the right avenue to conduct large scale research studies using ‘real-time’ patient data, thereby generating knowledge which may help identify the causes and treatment options as well as better management of DTD/TRD.

I am also leading the setting up a neuromodulation clinic that aims to deliver innovative mental health treatment for DTD/TRD such as, Ketamine and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation within the Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust. I also have wealth of experience as a lecturer teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as an online tutor. I have a PhD and have disseminated research in journal publications and many conferences.
