[edit] Encyclopedic

Although lovely in appearance and neatness, this article doesn't seem "to convey the important accumulated knowledge" and different perspectives on this topic in an NPOV way. It feels more like a NIMH webpage - perhaps reflecting the editorial history. In particular, the section listing every NIMH webpage on particular disorders, which would normally I think be under external links and perhaps just be a main hub page; and the long and intricately detailed history section. I'm going to start editing on this basis, please feel free to revert/discuss if any objections of course EverSince 15:01, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

So I've gone through the whole page. Even thought I've tried to carefully filter out loads of detail from the history section (I feel several decades older now) it surely needs more summarising, including of acronyms/acts etc. A link could be added to wherever all that preivous detail was pasted in from (I assume) EverSince 17:39, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NIMH in Popular Culture

Shouldn't there be a section on this, which includes mention of the film The Secret of NIMH? --Daniel 02:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't see why not. Also, the NIMH features prominently in the Adam Curtis documentary The Century of the Self, where it is described as an attempt to 'change' Americans into more rational individuals, and gets portrayed pretty much as an instrument of mind control.
