Texas psychiatrist Charles Bowden, M.D., has for many years been one of the leading lights in the field of bipolar disorder research. In October, that work was honored when he received the 2006 Mind of America Scientific Research Award from the National alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
The award was presented by Academy Award-winning actress Patty Duke.
NAMI chose Bowden for the $50,000 award for his extensive studies “on the symptoms and characteristics of bipolar disorder and the effectiveness of mood-stabilizing medication.”
Ann Pincus, chair of the NAMI Research Gala at which the award was presented, commented that by giving Bowden this award, “it will inspire other researchers to follow his example in helping to forge a universal understanding and acknowledgment of mental illness.”
In his acceptance speech Bowden said, “This is just the beginning of where we need to be for mental health research. I hope that someday mental health research will be a top priority for our nation.”
Bowden is the Nancy U. Karren Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. He is also a former member of the APA Board of Trustees. ▪
