Mental health
Our vision is a world in which no one is held back by mental health problems.
wellcome.org/what-we-do/mental-health
Depression, anxiety, and psychosis are holding millions of people back every day. We still know far too little about how and why these conditions develop, and how they can best be resolved.
But it doesn’t have to be like this.
We want to create transformative change by finding better ways to intervene early so that people experiencing these mental health challenges can thrive.
To do this, we fund a diverse range of researchers, and collaborate with others, including policy makers.
We are committed to working with lived experience experts to shape the direction of our mental health strategy and the research we fund.
What do we want to achieve?
We want to:
gain a better understanding of how the brain, body, and environment interact in depression, anxiety, and psychosis so that we can spot potential points for early intervention.
find better ways of identifying and grouping people with – or at risk of – these conditions so that we can provide more timely and personalised interventions.
find new and improved ways of intervening. This could involve things that an individual does for themselves, are provided by a healthcare professional, or are provided by policies or practices in wider society.
"Mental health science is on the cusp of transformative change. Wellcome is privileged to work with a wide range of researchers to find innovative ways to intervene as early as possible in depression, anxiety, and psychosis in order to improve the life trajectory of millions of people globally."
