Suicide: one person dies every 40 secondes. Behind this chilling statistic there are real person lives. Statistics cannot express the impact of the loss of a family member. The Museum of Lost and Found Potential, at London, tries to put faces to mental health statistics, showing personal things linked to mental health statistics. We know that a quicker diagnosis can saves thousands lives every years. That is why ALCEDIAG develop diagnosis tools to help Physicians to detect and support mental illnesses.

October 10th is the World Mental Health Day. This year “suicide prevention” is the main theme of World Mental Health Day. As WHO states : “Every 40 seconds, someone loses their life to suicide.”

ALCEDIAG contributes to a better understanding of Bipolar Disorder by developing a diagnosis test to differentiate Bipolar Disorder from Unipolar patients.

A recent study shows long delays in student mental healthcare consultation. During this period of significant changes, detecting and treating mental illnesses is critical !

Environmental change effect on mood can hide the beginning of a mental illness. This study on delays in mental healthcare consultation shows an actual pain point regarding mental health : the diagnosis takes a long time and sometimes the first consultation is hard to get.

ALCEDIAG works to bring an easier way to diagnose the mental health, we want to drastically reduce the time to diagnosis mental illness.
