 Supports the training of more than 1,000 scientists each year to carry out basic and clinical mental health research.

 The mission of NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure.  For the Institute to continue fulfilling this vital public health mission, it must foster innovative thinking and ensure that a full array of novel scientific perspectives are used to further discovery in the evolving science of brain, behavior, and experience. In this way, breakthroughs in science can become breakthroughs for all people with mental illnesses.

 If unsure where to go for help, talk to someone you trust who has experience in mental health—for example, a doctor, nurse, social worker, or religious counselor. Ask their advice on where to seek treatment. If there is a university nearby, its departments of psychiatry or psychology may offer private and/or sliding-scale fee clinic treatment options. Otherwise, check the Yellow Pages under mental health, health, social services, crisis intervention services, hotlines, hospitals,or physicians for phone numbers and addresses. In times of crisis, the emergency room doctor at a hospital may be able to provide temporary help for a mental health problem, and will be able to tell you where and how to get further help

Listed below are the types of people and places that will make a referral to, or provide, diagnostic and treatment services.  Family doctors  Mental health specialists, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, or mental health counselors  Religious leaders/counselors  Health maintenance organizations  Community mental health centers  Hospital psychiatry departments and outpatient clinics  University- or medical school-affiliated programs  State hospital outpatient clinics  Social service agencies  Private clinics and facilities  Employee assistance programs  Local medical and/or psychiatric societies

KNOWLEDGE RESOURCE BASE CUSTOMARY /TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE SOCIAL SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE MEDICAL/CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE

 Medical or clinical knowledge is very helpful in understanding mental health and mental illness. It reduces stigma associated with mental illness.  NIMH describes various topics related to health and mental illness such as Anxiety Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD, ADD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Bipolar Disorder (Manic-Depressive Illness),Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Eating Disorders, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD),Panic Disorder, Prevention, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),Schizophrenia, Social Phobia (Social Anxiety Disorder),Suicide Prevention.  This website also contains clinical research in mental health field which helps in studying mental health in clinical trails, developing new treatments or medications, identifying causes of illness studying trends, or evaluating ways in which genetics may be related to an illness.

 This organization provides knowledge about psychotherapies, medications and brain stimulation therapies.  There is also online resources for learning mental health and its related disorders. Some of the educational resources are-  The Science of Mental Illness  The Brain’s Inner Workings  Brain Basics Modules  Neuroscience and Psychiatry Modules

 Experience helps a client to have better understanding of disorder and its treatment because consumers who are living with mental illness know it more intimately than any other professional who lack direct experience.  NIMH provides real stories of persons experiencing mental illness who had courage to ask for help such as-Paul's Story, Jimmy's Story, Patrick's Story, Rene's Story, Rodolfo's Story.

NIMH communicates with scientists, patients, the news media, and primary care and mental health professionals about mental illnesses, the brain, behaviour, and opportunities and research advances in these areas.  NIMH also gives health information according to different age groups such as child and adolescent mental health, older adult and mental health, men and depression and women and mental health.  According to different ages, NIMH provides data about various disorders and their related treatments.

 NIMH describes various psychiatric disorders and their treatments. This institute gather knowledge from family members and friends regarding behaviour of a person suffering from mental illness. This helps them to have better understanding of disorder and treatment.  NIMH also gives information about helping any friend or relative who has any mental illness.

 Brain machinery for communication, transcription, regulation implicated  The largest study of its kind to date has strongly implicated 33 genes in autism – a nearly 4-fold increase over previous findings. Genes underlying the neural machinery for shaping communication between brain cells, gene expression, and its regulation by environment emerged as conferring the most risk. NIMH/NHGRI-funded researchers of the Autism Sequencing Consortium reported on their findings October 29, 2014 in the journal Nature. Rare glitches in 107 genes confer relatively higher risk. Among 2270 trios of patients and their parents, 13.8 percent carried such mutations – a level significantly higher than would be expected by chance. Such anomalies have a much higher impact on risk than most of the more than 1000 genes that the researchers estimate are likely involved in autism. By comparing types of mutations found in girls versus boys – who have much higher rates of autism – the researchers pinpointed mutations that confer more than a 20-fold increase in risk in boys. autism
