About the Hope for Depression Research Foundation
The Hope for Depression Research Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization focused solely on depression research. The World Health Organization has declared depression as the leading cause of disability worldwide. Despite its prevalence, depression is still misunderstood, underfunded and under-researched. To date, HDRF has provided more than $20 million through over 125 grants for accelerated breakthrough depression research that promises to lead to new and better medications and treatments.
Our mission is two-fold:
- To accelerate advanced brain research into the origins, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of depression.
- To raise awareness of depression as a medical illness, educate the public, and help erase the lingering stigma of depression.
