International Mental Health Research Organization (IMHRO) is committed to funding research and raising awareness to help people with brain disease, and, ultimately, find cures for schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder.
Brain disease can be bewildering and terrifying, both for persons afflicted and the families who love them. We know. We've been there. Probably, so have people you know: 1 in 5 people lives with a brain disorder. It is the number 1 cause of adult disability in the world.
We'd like to share an insight with you: there is hope, and science is helping it to grow.
We are a collection of families and individuals whose lives have been touched by brain disorders–and who believe that mental health research can solve brain disease within a generation. So far, the incredible generosity of our donors and volunteers has raised over $94 million in 15 years for research. And, this research has already helped thousands of people.
Hi, I'm Brandon. I still remember when I had my psychotic break. I was pretty freaked out—it's a scary experience! But, I find that the more I understand about mental illness, the less scary it is. If you think you or a loved one may need help, I recommend looking at this section of the site first to learn more about brain disorders:
Help find cures for brain disorders! You can donate to research, come to an event or volunteer. Or, if you are a leading-edge scientist, you can apply for our Rising Star grant. We appreciate any contribution to help those who live with mental illness.
