A National Crisis
Depression and bipolar illness impact one in five Americans. They cost our economy billions of dollars a year in lost productivity. More is spent treating them than treating cancer, yet up to half of sufferers do not receive the care they need. There are too few trained practitioners, too little research funding, and too much lingering stigma.
A National Response
The NNDC unites the top institutions in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of depression and bipolar illness to advance knowledge, improve care and drive the national conversation.
Welcome! The National Network of Depression Centers (NNDC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) network of 21 leading clinical and academic Centers of Excellence in the U.S working to transform the field of depressive illnesses and related mood disorders.
