Mental Health

Mental Health is an essential part of your overall health and wellbeing.[1] Good mental health means that you are able to recognize your own abilities, adapt to the normal stresses of life, work productively, and contribute to your community.[1] Several social, psychological, and biological factors determine the degree of emotional wellbeing you might experience at any given time.[1]
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

Being in a bad mood or feeling sad because something terrible happened is part of a normal, emotionally balanced human life. There are different types of depression and major depressive disorder or MDD is one of them. major depressive disorder (MDD) is a long-lasting, biologically-based mood disorder.[2]

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a misunderstood and stigmatised illness. When someone is suffering from a psychotic episode as the result of their schizophrenia, their normal thought processes are disrupted. This may give people the misperception that the person with schizophrenia has multiple personalities, which is not the case. The schizophrenic mind is not split but shattered.[3]

Built for the patient journey

Patients have always been at the heart of everything we do. With patients increasingly involved in determining their healthcare options, we remain committed to Patient Engagement and are partnering with patients and caregivers to learn more about their experiences. These precious insights help us ensure we are developing the right medicines, improving clinical trials, and creating educational materials that are accessible and easy to understand.

At Janssen, we believe that patients and their caregivers hold key information on how to improve healthcare processes and systems. We partner directly with patients and caregivers as we develop medicines, improve clinical trials, and create educational materials and support programs. We are committed to working toward patient-inspired innovation, including:
