Based in Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Sridhar Yaratha is a mental health professional with over two decades of experience in the industry who serves as a psychiatrist at Gateway Homes. In addition, Dr. Sridhar Yaratha is a member of several industry organizations, such as the American Psychiatric Association (APA), which seeks to advance mental health treatments and research.
The non-profit APA recently responded to a $1.4 trillion spending bill passed by Congress for the 2020 fiscal year, welcoming the funding that mental health and addiction services will receive. The APA highlights the fact that several areas in particular, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will receive $12.5 million in funding. In addition, the organization applauded the 6.7 percent increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with $2 billion of this being earmarked for the National Institute of Mental Health. On top of an initial $41.68 billion in funding, the NIH will receive an additional $12.5 million to research evidence-based methods to prevent firearm injuries and deaths.
