Psychiatric & Mental Health

Psychiatric and mental health research investigates biological, psychological, and social dimensions of mental health to develop effective interventions. This field examines neuroscience, trauma, resilience, and social determinants while addressing conditions from anxiety to serious mental illness. Researchers work to reduce stigma, improve access, and advance evidence-based treatments.

Impact

With one in five adults experiencing mental illness annually and rising rates among youth, this research addresses a critical public health crisis. By developing integrated care models, culturally-responsive interventions, and novel therapeutics, researchers can transform mental health delivery, prevent violence and trauma, and promote psychological well-being—recognizing that mental health is inseparable from overall health and essential to thriving communities.
