It's not that crazy to believe when you have a team of scientists like we do at Lieber. 🧠
The future of mental health treatment is being built through collaboration, innovation, and cutting edge brain research. Our scientists are using advanced technology, artificial intelligence, genetics, and global scientific partnerships to better understand disorders like schizophrenia, depression, PTSD, addiction, and bipolar disorder. By studying how the brain develops and functions, Lieber researchers are uncovering the root causes of mental illness and working toward more effective treatments and prevention. Every discovery brings us closer to real answers for individuals and families affected by brain disorders.

We recently watched a segment on WJZ-TV | CBS Baltimore featuring Kerry Graves, Executive Director of NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore, discussing common myths and facts about mental illness. One question really stood out to us:
Are people with serious mental illness more likely to commit violent crimes?
What do you think? Fact or myth?
(Spoiler: both anchors guessed wrong.)
❌ MYTH.
In reality, people living with serious mental illness are actually more likely to be victims of violent crime. While headlines and media portrayals often paint a different picture, the truth is that mental illness can leave people more vulnerable and susceptible to dangerous situations.
Conversations like this matter. The more we challenge misconceptions and share accurate information about mental health, the easier it becomes for people to seek help and for communities to support them with compassion instead of fear.
💬 What is one misconception about mental illness that you wish more people understood?
