National Network of Depression Centers

A collaborative network of mental health researchers focusing on depression and bipolar disorder.

The National Network of Depression Centers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research consortium dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge, improving care, and driving the national conversation on depression and related mood disorders. With more than 600 members from 25 leading academic institutions across the country, the NNDC has a unique capacity for effecting meaningful change through large-scale collaborative efforts. NNDC Members work together on Task Groups to tackle issues faced by specific populations or develop treatment guidelines for specific diagnoses; design and implement innovative clinical trials using cutting-edge treatments and technologies; and advocate for positive change in mental health policy on both state and national levels.
