We are an international non-profit organisation based in Leipzig and Frankfurt am Main, Germany, with several members and more than 100 regional network partners in Europe, Canada, Chile and Australia. The main aim is to improve care and optimise treatment for patients with depressive disorders and to prevent suicidal behaviour. It was established in 2008 by a number of mental health experts from different European research institutions in order to sustain the EU-funded EAAD projects (2004-2008).We are involved in several European research projects targeting depression and suicide prevention.
