The Psychiatry Research Trust was formed in 1982 with the sole aim of raising funds for research into mental illness and brain disease.
Since that date the Trust has raised in excess of £6million which has been used to fund
research projects covering a wide spectrum of mental health conditions and brain disease
lectures in aspects of mental health
bursaries to enable students to study and also to carry out research projects
prizes to encourage excellence in research by trainee psychiatrists and basic scientists
the purchase of essential research equipment
This work is vital not only because it is directed at securing better treatment for sufferers but also because it seeks to understand the underlying causes of mental illness and brain disease with the aim of finding means of prevention and cures for these illnesses.
