– “Par­tic­i­pat­ing in global men­tal health research is an enor­mous oppor­tu­nity, a means to accel­er­ate advances in men­tal health care for the diverse U.S. pop­u­la­tion, as well as an exten­sion of our vision of a world where men­tal ill­nesses are pre­vented and cured,” said Thomas R. Insel, M.D., direc­tor of the National Insti­tute of Men­tal Health (NIMH), the NIH insti­tute head­ing this effort. Accord­ing to the paper’s authors, the dis­or­ders tar­geted by the Grand Chal­lenges in Global Men­tal Health—for exam­ple, schiz­o­phre­nia, depres­sion, epilepsy, demen­tia, and alco­hol dependence—collectively account for more years of life lost to poor health, dis­abil­ity, or early death than either car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­ease or cancer.”
