CDRIN is a collaborative cross-Canada network with the mission to create and share knowledge that leads to more effective prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of depression and depression-linked illnesses and leading ultimately to a reduction in stigma.

People participating in CDRIN range from researchers, clinicians (of many professions), people with lived experience of depression, families and caregivers, educators, interested members of the general public and more.

CDRIN is a partnership between Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC,) the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) and The Royal’s Research Institute, the University of Ottawa Institute Of Mental Health Research (IMHR).
