MQ Mental Health Research is a charity formed to support research into mental illness. By funding research, we will be able to understand mental illness, improve current treatments, identify new ones and transform the lives of those affected: over 15 million in the UK. Better is possible.

Story

MQ are the mental health research charity. They transform lives through research, helping to create a future where mental illnesses are understood, effectively treated and one day prevented.  

Right now, one in four people in the UK are living with a mental health condition. MQ fund top scientists who develop groundbreaking research projects to transform how we approach mental illness. Our scientists investigate a huge range of issues: depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and more. We’re bringing together everything from cutting-edge neuroscience to social studies to find the answers we need. Better is possible. 

In the UK, for every £1 spent by the Government on mental health research, the general public donates just 0.3p. That’s less than half a penny. The equivalent charitable donation for cancer research is £2.75 (that's more than 900 times more).

I believe people with mental health difficulties are worthy of our support. What do you believe?
