Research

Psychiatry and psychology research at Mayo Clinic focuses on better understanding people with depression, bipolar disorder and other mood disorders. This includes studying which biological and mental health treatments can work best for them.

Researchers work together across specialties to create new treatments, improve clinical results, and find ways to help patients and families cope with mood disorders and other mental health conditions.

Mayo researchers use the latest technology and work with genomics investigators to better define what causes mood disorders. This knowledge can lead to more effective treatments.
