IMI impact on mental health disorders - webinar 27 September 2024

Published on: 20/08/2024
Time: 14:00 -15:30 CEST.
The webinar will explore the impacts of IMI projects with a strong focus on mental health disorders: RADAR-CNS (depression as well as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy); PRISM / PRISM 2 (schizophrenia and depression as well as Alzheimer’s disease) and AIMS-2-TRIALS (autism spectrum disorders).
Mental health disorders such as depression and schizophrenia are notoriously difficult to manage. Many patients either do not have a treatment that really addresses their needs, or if they have an effective treatment, it comes with unpleasant side effects. One major challenge is that mental disorders are defined largely on the basis of their symptoms, even though the underlying cause of the symptoms may differ from one patient to another.
