The Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program (MAP) is the world’s largest research program focused on mood and anxiety disorders. Our nationally and internationally renowned clinical researchers and basic scientists investigate the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of serious mood and anxiety disorders. The program is divided into research groups specializing in depression, bipolar disorder (manic‑depression), anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. We have experts working with children, adolescents and adults. A broad range of methods is employed including neurochemical, neuroendocrine, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging to conduct studies into the causes and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders. Our staff engage their talent and spirit to carry out their mission; to contribute to the alleviation of suffering by contributing to the discovery of new and improved treatments for mood and anxiety disorders.
The past decade of mental health research has yielded significant advances in both the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. These advances could not have occurred without the participation of many patients and families. We are indebted to those who have volunteered. Your participation contributes to increased knowledge about mental illness in general and may contribute to your own understanding of your condition. Medical evaluations, consultations, procedures and treatments related to MAP research studies are provided at no cost to you. MAP research is based on sound ethical principles with a focus on compassionate care of research subjects and sensitive and responsible follow-up and referral.
Treatment research is our highest priority. MAP physicians, social workers, psychologists and nurses are whole-heartedly invested in helping to lead the way to an improved quality of life for patients and their families.
