Strong research programs are in place aimed at deciphering and developing treatments for a number of psychiatric conditions including aggression, anxiety and depression, bipolar illness and schizophrenia, eating disorders, and substance abuse. Others focus on understanding developmental influences as well as cultural variables that impact mental health.
