Science and Service: • Opening Pathways to • Better Mental Health • Complexities of Co-occurring Conditions Meeting Richard K. Nakamura, Ph.D. Deputy Director National Institute of Mental Health
NIMH Mission • Reduce the burden of mental and behavioral disorders through research on mind, brain and behavior
How do we do this? • NIMH budget is over $1.3 billion • 7th Largest Institute of the NIH • Most goes into 2000 research grants around the country based on expert review that funds less than 1/3 of applications.
World Bank and the World Health Organization • Global Burden of Disease • To measure both premature death and disability, a single measure was developed: • Disability Adjusted Life Year • DALY • One DALY is one lost year of healthy life.

The Brain Changes • We now understand that our genes specify a general plan with many options. Our brain changes its physical structure through behavior and interactions with the environment
A Revolution • Our new understanding of the brain integrates: • nature and nurture • mind and brain • genes and the environment
