Knowledge Must Be Shared

Effective, well-researched treatments exist for most mental disorders, yet the majority of people who have severe mental illness are not treated. Our goal is to improve understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness throughout the world.

Mental Illness Ranks First In Terms of Causing Disability in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe.

"When compared with all other diseases (such as cancer and heart disease), mental illness ranks first in terms of causing disability in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, according to a study by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2001). This groundbreaking study found that mental illness (including depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia) accounts for 25% of all disability across major industrialized countries". (President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health)

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -- Author Unknown
