Take part in mental health research

Mental Health problems can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, race or social background. But together we can make a difference.

The National Centre for Mental Health (NCMH) is a research organisation supported by Health and Care Research Wales and the NHS to learn more about the causes of mental health problems.

Their aim is to help develop better diagnosis, treatment and support for people with mental health problems in the future.

Their researchers are examining what leads to the development of mental health problems, from genetics and biology to psychological and environment factors.

We believe that a better understanding of mental health problems is the key to making life better for those affected by them.

They need your help to make a difference.

What they study-

- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

- Autism Spectrum Disorders

- Bipolar Disorder

- Depression

- Eating Disorders

- Learning disability and mental health

- Mood disorder in pregnancy and childbirth

- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

How you can help

Mental health problems affect everyone differently, so to fully understand them, they need as many volunteers as possible to help with their research.

More than 7000 people from across the UK have already come forward.

If you or a loved one have ever been diagnosed with a mental health problem, you can help with their research.

Taking part is easy and involves:

- A brief meeting with a trained researcher, either at your home or in a local clinic

- Providing a small blood or saliva sample

- Completing and returning some questionnaires

They information they gather is completely confidential.
