Learn About Mental Disorders

We are determined to help conquer psychiatric disorders, because we too have seen the effects first-hand.

With the help of our colleagues in this effort, we have prepared a set of in-depth patient and family guides for the most common mental disorders. They cover what's known about the causes, symptoms and treatments.

Schizophrenia

Depression

Bipolar Disorder

Our Patients & Families guide includes general information on coping with mental illness.

To Find a Cure

The story of NARSAD's mission

NARSAD President Emeritus Constance Lieber learned firsthand about the devastating and disruptive effects of mental illness when her own daughter, Janice, was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Families like Mrs. Lieber's, searching for answers to mental illness and intent on accelerating the pace of research, led to the creation of NARSAD more than 20 years ago.

"To Find a Cure" illuminates how two decades of research have led to progress in understanding and treating serious mental illness, to reducing stigma and to restoring hope.
