Mental Illness Is a Longevity Disease

Depression alone takes roughly ten years off lifespan. Severe mental illness takes fifteen to twenty-five. Suicide is the second leading cause of death between ages ten and thirty-four. Loneliness has been rated as health-equivalent to smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. Any serious longevity program has to address mental health as a longevity disease. The CureForge Mental Health, Psychiatric & ConnectionBiology Institute is the federation’s research engine for that work. Twelve specialized AI systems collaborate across depression treatment optimization, the new psychedelictherapeutic class, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, suicide prevention, the biology of loneliness and social connection, post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, sleep-mood coordination, pediatric mental health, and voice-biomarker-based detection of depression and anxiety. Every clinical recommendation is reviewed by qualified psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.

Value proposition:

• Depression, anxiety, and severe mental illness as longevity diseases
• Voice-biomarker detection of depression and anxiety
• Federated coordination with sleep, microbiome, and inflammation institutes
