Resumo(s)
Mental health awareness has been rising worldwide, motivated by its social and economic
costs. Despite the investment in research in neuroscience in the recent years, little is known about
the underlying mechanisms in the brain that are correlated with psychiatric conditions. This project,
through two feature articles suitable to be published in magazines, provides perspectives onto mental
health research. First it presents an example where psychiatry joins forces with neuroscience and
computer science in an interdisciplinary effort to improve the life of those affected by mental disorders.
The second article gathers opinions which claim that mental health research priorities should
be set by patients themselves, or even that people with lived experience of mental health issues
should have an active role in that research. This project was planned and researched while I was an
Erasmus student at Nottingham Trent University, in the United Kingdom.
