Story
Mood Disorders (depression and bipolar disorder) devastate the lives of suffers, their families and careers. They increase the risk of developing physical health problems and the chances of dying from these. While mental illness accounts for around 19% of the total burden of all disease (compared to 16% for cancer), it receives only 5% of UK research funding (compared to 20% for cancer). This means that while for every patient suffering from cancer, £1,571 is spent on research, only £9.75 is spent on research for every patient suffering from mental illness.
Out of the Blues' aim is to address this funding gap by raising money to support research into Mood Disorders, specifically in the North East of England.
