The idea for the National Institute of Mental Health [NIMH] was born on July 3, 1946, when then-president Harry Truman signed the National Mental Health Act. On April 15, 1 949, NIMH was finally established, becoming a part of the National Institutes of Health [NIH], The mission of NIH is to support biomedical research, which it does by conducting research in its own laboratories as well as by providing funds to scientists at other institutions. There are presently 27 NIH branches, and although considerable overlap exists among these different institutes and centers, NIMH is the main supporter of brain research topics such as neurochemistry. NIMH headquarters is located at the Neuroscience Center Building in Rockville, Maryland, but many of the staff work at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland.

The NIMH is the federal agency funded to respond to so-called mental illness in America. When I was a full-time consultant to NIMH (1966-1968), it was fundamentally a psychosocial and educationally oriented institution. It sought ways to improve the nation s mental health through psychological, social, educational, and economic means. For example, it was greatly concerned with improving our schools and reducing poverty.

After World War II (WWII), the National Institute of Health broadened its research scope to include chronic diseases such as cancer and mental illness. In 1948, the institute was expanded and the name was changed to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). At present, the NIH consists of 17 institutes and is an agency within the U.S. Public Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services. Its budget in 1999 was U.S. 15.6 billion. The establishment and subsequent growth of the NIH reflects the emerging priority placed on scientific inquiry and treatments based on xmderstanding pathologic processes at a fundamental level. This trend continues currently as evidence-based medical practice.
