Orygen is a medical research centre leading a global revolution in youth mental health from Melbourne.

Up to 75% of all mental illness starts by the age of 25, and 2 in 5 young Australians are now impacted – a 50 per cent increase in only 15 years.

That’s why Orygen’s experts are spearheading research across 12 priority areas that include everything from depression and anxiety, to psychosis and eating disorders.

They’re also upskilling mental health workers and teachers, developing new treatments, and harnessing technology to create digital therapy tools such as MOST and Mello.

Led by former Australian of the Year Professor Patrick McGorry, Orygen is working fast to address the youth mental health crisis for young people today, and generations to come.
