#$650 million commitment to Stanley Center at Broad Institute aims to galvanize mental illness research The following is adapted from a press release issued today by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

If we know the biological causes we can begin to dispel the stigma around people battling mental illness

but Jonathan overcame his illness with the help of lithium a landmark drug first used to treat patients with mental illness in 1949.

Now a successful attorney Jonathan is also a founding board member of the Treatment Advocacy Center a nonprofit organization dedicated to reforming laws that affect persons with a mental illness and an advocate for the National Alliance on Mental illness.

Although lithium helped give Jonathan a normal life other patients who suffer from mental illness have not been as fortunate.

He moved to the Broad Institute to tackle mental illness because he had a deep personal interest in the field.

To create a comprehensive catalog of the genetic variation that underlies mental illness the researchers plan to expand their international network

About the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research The mission of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute is to reduce the burden of serious mental illness through research.

Many mental disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and anxiety, affect neurotransmitter systems,"said Axel Brunger, the study's principal investigator.

The National Science Foundation, the Della Martin Fund for Discoveries in Mental illness, and the Japan Science and Technology Agency, Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology funded the work
