In Canada alone, one in five people will experience mental illness in their lifetime. However, by seeding the field of psychiatry research with talented scientists we can bring substantive advance to the broad spectrum of mental health in general and the fields of eating disorders, depression and anxiety in particular.
Through the Labatt Family Innovation Fund in Brain Health, the University of Toronto’s Department of Psychiatry will fund six promising studies to impact the trajectory and outcomes of eating disorders, depression, or anxiety in young and mid-life adults.
