Why participate in research?

Research is the best way to understand mental illness and develop new treatment options. All of the treatments that we have today were made possible through research projects that were done on human subjects. By participating in a research project, you are making a priceless contribution to the further advancement of  knowledge in understanding how we can treat mental illness.
