Overview
Dr. Nestadt’s research focuses on the epidemiology of suicide. He is interested in the role of practical factors, such as firearm access and opiate use, in the risk of suicide death. His methodological expertise includes large scale regression based data analysis, post-mortem clinical evaluation, and evaluation of determination of manner of death. He also works with the OCD genetics group and the broader suicide prevention workgroup at Johns Hopkins.
Dr. Nestadt's clinical focus is on the treatment of anxiety disorders including PTSD, Generalized anxiety, panic, and phobias. He is the co-director of the Johns Hopkins Anxiety Disorders Clinic. He also attends on the inpatient dual diagnosis (substance dependence in the context of other serious mental illness) unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
