Martin is a young patient affected by bipolar disorder who has received care at the Douglas. Help us support youth mental health and make a full recovery possible for all those who are suffering.
Youth Mental Health
I thought I was
invincible.
Martin
Past patient of the Douglas Institute
Without help from the Douglas, Martin wouldn’t have been able to manage his bipolar disorder. Mental health problems are particularly tragic because they often start at a young age.
We believe the fight against youth mental illness begins with building hope, one young patient at a time. Our goal is to streamline and enhance early diagnosis. To help our young patients as quickly as possible and get the support of a patient specific, multidisciplinary team of mental health experts, who can accompany them and their family in their time of need with professional support.

We are building hope for Canadian youth suffering from mental illness by integrating each of these things into a combined and continuous approach. Doing so enables us to offer easier access to mental health services and better tools to evaluate the efficacy of treatments given to young patients.
