Dr. Lebowitz joined NIMH 25 years ago, serving first as head of the research program for Studies of the Mental Health of the Aging, then as Deputy Chief and Chief of the Mental Disorders of the Aging Research Branch. He and his program at NIMH are largely responsible for enabling the impressive growth of knowledge in caregiver-related issues in the 1980s and in late-life depression in the 1990s. The program has also contributed knowledge in other areas including Alzheimer's disease research and the care of older patients with serious mental illness.
