Celebrating NIMH’s 75th Anniversary

Since its establishment by Congress in 1949, NIMH has played a pivotal role in driving mental health research, fostering innovation, and transforming #MentalHealthCare worldwide. Over the last year, NIMH has celebrated its 75th Anniversary, marking decades of advancing the understanding and treatment of mental disorders (Learn more about NIMH’s history and impact here).  

The 75th-anniversary celebrations offered an opportunity to reflect on NIMH’s legacy while looking toward the future. Highlights included a series of three symposiums that brought together leading experts, individuals with lived experience, clinicians and communities to reflect on the challenges and achievements of the past 75 years.   

NIMH has not only supported research that led to the advancement of mental health research care but has also played a role in mental health education. NIMH offers accessible, evidence-based resources that provide individuals and communities with a better understanding of mental health conditions and available treatments. 

The 75th-anniversary celebrations honoured these achievements and reaffirmed NIMH’s commitment to advancing mental health research. Visit the NIMH website to learn more about NIMH’s achievements.
