Abstract
Exploring neurological & mental brain disorders in Europe Stephanie Kramer and Frédéric Destrebecq of the European Brain Council discuss updates on Brain disorders in Europe – neurological and mental alike. Brain disorders are widespread in Europe, highly disabling and often difficult to treat. Approximately 60% of the European population lives with a neurological condition, and one in six citizens in Europe is affected by mental ill-health. To Kramer and Destrebecq, investing in the brain and brain research is critical. However, instead of divesting in a cost, policymakers and society at large should view the prioritisation and support of research into brain disorders as an investment into a healthier future. Calling for prioritisation of research of brain disorders at the political level has been a major effort from the brain research community for decades, but, despite a steady growth of investment by the European Union, it has been nowhere near enough, lacks efficiency, remains fragmented, lacks recognition as a priority area, and is persistently misunderstood and underestimated.
