Hello world! So many people with cognitive, psychiatric and neurological symptoms, face years of misdiagnosis, multiple assessments and tests, uncertainty, and delay to accurate diagnosis and treatment, with stress, frustration, and negative impacts for them, and their families.

The MiND Study is led by Professor Dennis Velakoulis and Dr Dhamidhu Eratne, and Neuropsychiatry, The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Australia, working with a growing list of fantastic national and international collaborators, aims to improve the situation.

We need your help to reach our ultimate goal: a routinely available simple blood test for earlier diagnosis and better care and outcomes for people with illnesses of the mind and brain.

The main participation requirement is straightfoward - a blood test that can be done close to home. Please visit our website www.themindstudy.org for more information, discuss with your doctor, and get in touch with us - we'd love to hear from you!
