We Need Your Help! NIMH Fails to Prioritize Serious Mental Illness Dear John, Are you okay with no new treatments for severe mental illness until 2050? If this is unacceptable to you, join us in telling the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to stop ignoring the most severely ill. NIMH has a tragic history of ignoring the needs of people with serious mental illness. Unfortunately, their draft five-year strategic plan signals their intention to continue down this same failed path. Spearheaded by our founder, Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, the Treatment Advocacy Center put together a comprehensive analysis highlighting how NIMH's plan would fail those with severe mental illness. We identify sixteen concrete examples of research initiatives the NIMH should be pursuing today, initiatives that could help people with serious mental illness recover and live better lives. We urge you to submit your own public comment on the NIMH’s five-year plan here. You don’t need to be a research scientist, you just need to be passionate about severe mental illness reform! Feel free to use our comments as a guide, but also share your out story of how the decisions of NIMH affect you and your loved ones. These stories are vital to help NIMH understand why their proposed priorities are misplaced. You can submit feedback online via the NIMH request for information page, or mail your comments to: NIMH Strategic Planning Team 6001 Executive Boulevard, Room 6200, MSC 9663 Bethesda, MD 20892-9663 We are incredibly thankful to have supporters like you that are willing to stand with us against groups like NIMH who continue to ignore people with severe mental illness, please consider donating to the Treatment Advocacy Center.
