Dedicated to Discovery, Poised to Make an Impact

Transforming how depression and related disorders are addressed.

Depression does not discriminate, affecting people across age, gender, ethnicity, economic background, and more. Many lose hope of ever getting better. In the pandemic’s wake, the need for novel and transformative breakthroughs to provide relief to those suffering is especially critical.

At the Eisenberg Family Depression Center, we are known for our legacy of ground-breaking approaches to diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental illness. But it is not enough. Bringing about meaningful change for those suffering from depression requires a change in our models of research and care. Only then can we relieve the burden of mental illness for those struggling and their families.

 Join us by supporting our efforts to:

  • Accelerate discovery by advancing novel research
  • Bolster and grow existing areas of success
  • Expand our potential by forging faculty connections across the center and U-M’s campus
  • Translate research to help those who are suffering today
  • Incorporate precision health, digital technology, and data science to address depression
  • Innovate to serve individuals, families, communities, and populations

Our team works together and across disciplines to improve outcomes and quality of life for men, women, and children who suffer from depression’s debilitating effects.

Join us! Your generosity will have a great impact on our progress and will help people everywhere.
