2. In Depth Understanding Of Lived Experience 

Stage 2 - part a

We will conduct interviews to explore people’s experiences of their complex emotions to understand how emotions vary and what impacts them. This will involve interviewing people to understand their lives and situations, and how these influence their experiences of complex emotions. We will look at how patterns of complex emotions might differ between individuals. 

Stage 2 - part b 

We will also undertake studies in which people record their feelings, emotions and experiences in a smartphone app several times a day. This will enable us to see how real-world triggers and events impact on people’s symptoms in real time. We will work with our lived experience partners to find the best ways to do this, and to see whether adding objectively measured information from devices like smart-watches or other consumer wearable devices can be useful.
