About
Accelerating innovations to improve mental health outcomes across our communities.
Our vision and strategic priorities are guided by our leadership of experienced research faculty.
Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg and Family Depression Center
Established in 2001, the Eisenberg Family Depression Center is the first of its kind devoted entirely to bringing depression into the mainstream of research, care, community education and public discourse. Today, our Center is expanding the scope of mental health research in order to accelerate innovations that lead to improved outcomes across our communities.
One in every five Americans will experience depression. Only a fraction of these individuals will receive treatment that results in long-term relief. Depression is prevalent and pervasive across our communities, often going undiagnosed or undertreated. As the leading cause of disability worldwide, depression is not only a personal hardship–it is a global burden.
We believe transformative change is needed to address this enormous impact. Whether it’s a case of postpartum depression or a life-long struggle with bipolar disorder–our communities and those suffering deserve better. We deserve hope.
Our Vision
