Editorial Reviews

VHS tape depicts some of the exciting research sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health that is bringing hope to the 1 in 10 Americans who suffer from mental illnesses and brain disorders. This film shows how state-of-the-art brain scanners and molecular probes can help scientists see how mental illnesses affect the brain. Uncovering the physical causes of mental disorders also is helping to decrease the stigma that still surrounds mental illness and keeps people from seeking appropriate treatment. This film hopefully will provide you with a deeper understanding of how far we already have come and will give you a glimpse of the bright future.
