National Institute of Mental Health

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) was opened in 1949. It is one of the 27 Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health. Click. NIMH deals with health problems such as stress, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, suicide, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity. Many of these problems occur in the age group 14-45. These mental problems cause other medical problems. For instance, stress and depression can cause heart disease. In its strategic plans and priorities, NIMH speaks of the Decade of the Brain. This decade occurred in the 1990s and developed considerable knowledge about the brain. In the Decade of Translation in the 2000s, with a $1.4 billion yearly budget, great progress is expected by NIMH with the use of genomics, neuroscience, and behavioral science. Click.

Like all other National Institutes of Health, NIMH assumes that Darwin’s evolutionary theory is a reality. Thus, NIMH assumes that the brain is formed of mechanisms, that the mind is a metaphysical form of our brains, and that the brain was formed out of the physical things, which are governed by physical laws. So, God and God’s Intelligent Design is not considered in any NIMH research project. So, I do not expect NIMH to produce anything useful in the decade of Translation.

In my resent book, The First Scientific Proof of God, the human mind is a dominant spiritual atom among an infinite set of spiritual atoms. All spiritual atoms form an infinite number of subsets and form the bodies of all dominate spirits. The brain is thus a spirit with a body. The brain thus functions as an organ for the human mind.
