Prevention of Mental Disorders and Mental Health Promotion Network

Aiming to progress clinical research on disorder-modifying prevention and promotion of good mental health. A major barrier to improving outcomes of mental disorders is that once the onset of the disorder has begun, there are limited treatment possibilities and even fewer possibilities to alter their course. Thus, prevention of mental disorders and promotion of good mental health are the most promising ways to reduce the high personal, familial, societal, clinical and economic costs of mental disorders.

History

The European Commission has strongly supported research in preventing mental disorders and promoting good mental health, notably across all ages and across different types of mental disorders, and additional programmes of research are expected. The ECNP PMD-MHP Network was set up in 2018 to address these gaps in knowledge and is highly strategic for the ECNP, as it aligns with the European Commission’s ROAMER (A Roadmap for Mental Health Research in Europe). The PMD-MHP is highly multidisciplinary, including basic researchers, psychiatrists, psychologists and neuroscientists.
