CIHR Experts Available For National Mental Health Week
Mental Health Week

Mental health problems directly affect one in five Canadians.

But all Canadians will be affected by mental illness at some point in their lives, either through a family member, friend or colleague. Several experts with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) are available to talk about different aspects related to this issue as Mental Health Awareness Week approaches from May 7 to 13, 2007.

Depression is the most widespread mental health problem and the number one cause of disability in Canada. Anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder also rank high. What is alarming is that 49% of those who feel they have suffered from depression or anxiety did not seek medical help.
