The International Center of Mental Health Policy and Economics (ICMPE) is a no-profit organization which organizes activities aimed at facilitating the integration of various disciplines whose research focuses on the mental health sector from different perspectives (psychiatry, economics, public health, health services analysis, sociology). Massimo Moscarelli, MD is the Center Director.
