The Black Dog Institute, founded in 2002 and based in Sydney, Australia, is a not-for-profit facility for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder.[1]

Research

The Black Dog Institute undertakes research into the prevention, early intervention and treatment of depression and bipolar disorder.[2][3] They partner with the Australian Centre for Research Excellence in Suicide Prevention [https://cresp.edu.au/ (CRESP)] concerned with lowering suicide rates in Australia. According to CRESP, suicide is the most common cause of death in Australians aged 15–44 years – more common than deaths from motor vehicle accidents or skin cancer and the tenth most common cause of death overall for Australian males.[4] The problem is worse in rural and regional areas, according to a 2012 study by Griffith University.[5]

The Black Dog Institute launched “Men’s Health Study” in 2014, with the aim of identifying ways to prevent male suicides and developing mental health tools designed specifically for men.[6] Based on this research, the Black Dog Institute launched an online program, Man Central, that helps men identify early signs of depression and provides tips on how to cope.[7]

Services

The Black Dog Institute runs three clinics available to Australian residents; Depression, Bipolar Disorders and Psychology clinic. Additionally, the facility offers seminars and workshops on mood disorders, well being and related topics. The Black Dog Institute has developed a range of online tools including: [https://www.mycompass.org.au/ myCompass], BITE BACK, and self-tests for depression, bipolar disorder, personality and workplace well being.
