The Long View of Life and Mental Health

By Paul Summergrad, M.D.

The work to achieve parity or advance science, remains essential. If there is anything I have learned, it is that mental illness does not respect person, class, religion, or political persuasion, and people throughout the world—patients and families—are passionately committed to better care and cures. So while the effort is challenging and progress may seem painfully slow when looked at close up, we need to take the long view and remain sharply focused on our on solving the scientific and policy issues which will truly relieve the burden of mental illness.
