Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health
It is Time for Precision Psychiatry
The statistics are staggering. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) :
- More than 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. have a mental illness.
- Over 1 in 5 between the ages of 13-18 have or have had a severe mental illness.
- Approximately 1 in 25 adults in the U.S. lives with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression.
Established through a bold $75 million grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Center for Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health at Columbia University is the first of its kind: An organization explicitly designed to catalyze the scientific innovation and clinical implementation of precision medicine to advance diagnosis and treatment of mental illness.
It is an exciting time in psychiatry as we begin to bridge the gap between medical, scientific, and technological discoveries and clinical and therapeutic advancements.
