Mental health is brain health. For Brain Awareness Month, be sure to read this article by @bipolardiscoveries.org Scientific Chair and colleagues about the link between mental illness & neurological disorders: www.statnews.com/2026/04/28/b...

Why do discussions about ‘brain health’ ignore mental illness?
“Failing to adopt a more inclusive concept of brain health represents a massive loss of human potential,” write Husseini K. Manji, Eric J. Nestler, and Patrick J. Kennedy.

🧪 Milestone alert for #bipolardisorder research! Despite advances in neuroscience & psychiatry, progress has lagged. Not because the questions aren’t clear, but because data needed to answer them has been fragmented, inconsistent & too small to scale. BD²’s data release is changing what's possible.
