...Harvard-MIT institute announced a $100 million gift this week to create a new center to study psychiatric disease, in a move that backers say will jump-start the search for the genetic basis of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The Stanley Medical Research Institute awarded the gift—the largest ever given for psychiatric disease research—to the Broad Institute, a three-year-old joint venture between Harvard and MIT. “There’s no understanding of the causes of these diseases, and that needs to come from collaboration between clinical people and those...

Smithburg worries that a facility with new hospital beds (sorely needed in New Orleans) may have to be converted...
...until Andrea became ill did her relatives fully realize that mental illness ran in the family. They began to confide in one another, says Jutta. Andrea's brother Andrew and sister Michelle are being treated for depression. Her other brother Brian found out he is bipolar. The more they talked, the more they all suspected that their father had been battling depression. Andrea, as far as anyone knew, had never been treated for her pre-Rusty bout of depression...
