Mental health

At UCL, we combine our strengths in neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, population health sciences and education to tackle mental health in cross-disciplinary collaboration.

A hub of mental health excellence

450 million people worldwide live with a mental health condition. To help turn the tide on what is a global crisis, UCL is harnessing its wealth of expertise in basic, clinical and social sciences, unmatched NHS partnerships, and substantial convening power as an internationally renowned research university.

Our academics are uncovering groundbreaking research insights and gamechanging new treatment innovations. Their pioneering expertise is already shaping mental health clinical practice and policy at global, national and local levels.

And through our outstanding education programmes, we are nurturing the next generation of professionals and leaders in the field, equipped to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of mental health.

Donors who invest in UCL’s powerful mental health community will work with us to transform how mental health disorders are prevented, diagnosed, and treated.
