The Foundation is a research, educational, referral and information center, dedicated to mood disorders such as depression, manic depression, panic and anxiety states and obsessive compulsive disorders.

Yet millions of Americans experience unrecognized symptoms and therefore are untreated for mood disturbances that cause enormous suffering and hardship. The Foundation, under the leadership of Dr. Ronald F. Fieve, the American pioneer in the development of lithium therapy for bipolar disorder, also Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia Presyterian Medical Center, endeavors to educate and inform the public to combat these problems. This can be done through the following programs: Aimed at biochemical, behavioral, and genetic understanding of the causes of depression and anxiety disorders and developing new drug treatments to alleviate them.

Mood Disorders I. What are Mood Disorders? "But when the melancholy fit shall fall Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud, That fosters the droop-headed flowers all, And hides the green hill in an April shroud; Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose." John Keats, Ode on Melancholy We have all felt sad, or melancholy, from time to time. But there is a point where the ache of sadness becomes chronic and insufferable, a mountain of pain to its victim. Mood disorders, predominantly Depression and Bi-polar syndromes, are said to strike one in seven of the population. How Prevalent are Mood Disorders in Children and Adolescents? 7-14% of children will experience an episode of major depression before the age of 15. 20-30% of adult bipolar patients report having their first episode before the age of 20. Out of 100,000 adolescents, two to three thousand will have mood disorders out of which 8-10 will commit suicide.
