Professor Hugh Perry, Former Chair of the MRC’s Neuroscience and Mental Health Board, discusses the MRC’s strategy for lifelong mental health and wellbeing.
MRC supports world-class #mentalhealth #research, creating new opportunities to treat and prevent mental health illness, such as #anxiety and #depression, which are estimated to affect around one in six people at any time in the UK.
MRC works closely with other funders and policymakers in this field. MRC is a member of a national group of mental health research funders. This helps MRC take a strategic overview of mental health research and identify areas for special action. It comprises members from the government and charity sectors, including, Department of Health, Economic and Social Research Council, MQ, McPin Foundation and Wellcome Trust.
Mental illness places a huge burden on individuals, their families and society more widely. Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are estimated to affect approximately one in six people at any time in the UK, with an estimated cost to the economy of £70 billion to £100 billion annually.
