“The Mental Illness Research Foundation of America will go a long way in treating those with mental health needs and finding cures for this largely ignored health issue.”

- Carolyn Brown Hodge, Director of Rural Affairs, Office of Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn 

Supporting New Research into Treatment of Mental Illness.

Through advocacy, research, and the future establishment of a charitable hospital facility, the Mental Illness Research Foundation of America seeks to bring new light to the mental illness of our children, our parents, our loved ones. Diseases that affect the body, neurological functioning, thought processes, and behavior cannot continue to be hidden in darkness. Does the person suffering from depression deserve any less care than someone with heart disease, cancer, or any other debilitiating, challenging, life-threatening disease?

Of course not.

Does the set of serious brain diseases called “mental illness” require an aggressive approach to research in order to establish a set of cures?

Absolutely.

Join the MIRFA team in search of a cure for mental illness, and in the creation of the 21st century’s response to treatment.
