Mental Illnesses are the leading cause of illness, loss of func3on, death and disability in adolescents and young adults in Australia. Mental Illness Cardiovascular Disease This impacts directly on society through health costs (especially rising costs of demen3a), loss of func3oning (especially depression), injury (drug and alcohol harm) and premature death (suicide and MVA leading causes of death for ages 18-35). Suicide is the leading cause of death in young adult males, and the third leading cause of YLL in males over all ages.

Mental Illness Cardiovascular Disease In contrast to the major medical disorders, mental health impacts most greatly on young people Benefits of Youth Mental Health Research
- 1. Prevent the risks and harm before they occur
- 2. A small adjustment of brain development can have major
long term implica3ons
- 3. Would put QLD squarely on the map of mental health
research and policy (currently dominated by Vic, ACT, NSW).
- 4. Would strengthen the reciprocal exchange between QLD
Health, QIMR and the university sector

Juvenile Rodent Drug exposure Preclinical imaging Adolescent Schoolies week Transla3onal imaging
At QIMR we focus on these serious and prevalent disorders - depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, drug and alcohol use and demen3a We are uniquely posi3oned to iterate between basic, preclinical and transla3onal research

Depression and Demen=a research
Unfortunately as mental health declines, the burden of demen3a arises
Anxiety, depression Dementia
Demen3a will soon become the leading cause of illness burden in Australian society. Current imaging and laboratory tests are insensi3ve to the early changes that precede demen3a
