Mental Health Research Literacy flyer

The aim of this flyer is to raise awareness among the broader community of mental health research concepts. It aims to:
(i) educate the community on why we do the research we do,
(ii) explain how different research modalities use different methods, produce different outcomes and have different timelines, and
(iii) underscore the importance of multiple research strategies if we are to have some success in delivering mental health prevention and intervention.

Publication on lithium

In 1999 Novartis sponsored a publication celebrating the 50th anniversary of what is undoubtedly the most important discovery in Australasian psychiatric research: John Cade's work on lithium as a treatment for mania. This publication was edited by Philip Mitchell, Dusan Hadzi-Pavlovic and Husseini Manji and was been published as a supplement to the Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry.
