National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH) and research on severe mental illnesses

"The
average citizen would be shocked at what their money is being spent on," said Dr. E.
Fuller Torrey, president of the Treatment Advocacy Center in Arlington, Va. "They've
turned down projects on the mentally ill homeless. They've turned down projects on
developing new medications that would be useful for people with schizophrenia,
manic-depressive illness."
