NARSAD provides research funding for the world’s leading scientific investigators of psychiatric disorders, in a quest to find the causes, better treatments and cures for mental illness. We can share with you the up-to-the moment research being conducted by NARSAD-supported scientists, and we can put you in touch with the experts most suited to provide background and commentary for the stories you’re working on.
- NARSAD-affiliated scientists come from the fields of psychiatry, pharmacology, genetics, molecular biology, epidemiology and neuroscience.
- Our experts include clinicians and basic scientists who are studying a wide range of disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, autism and the full spectrum of childhood conditions. (Click here for a complete list of disorders being researched by NARSAD-supported scientists.)
- Their studies are equally far-ranging, encompassing genetics, brain function and structure, medication action and effectiveness, novel forms of magnetic and electric stimulation, psychosocial treatment, uses of brain-imaging techniques, diagnostic tools, and epidemiology or disease distribution.
