Professor Masato Fukuda leads education and research in the Department of Neuroscience and Psychiatry of the Graduate School of Medicine. He also provides clinical care to patients visiting the psychiatric neurology department at the Gunma University Hospital. Mental disorders are one of the five national diseases defined by medical regulations. Amidst the increase in individuals, particularly young people, facing concerns and anxieties during the COVID-19 pandemic, Professor Fukuda, as a psychiatrist and researcher at the university, has gained attention from educators and individuals that support young people. His work has been highly praised based on his achievements in education, research, and clinical work and his longstanding efforts in collaborating with society (such as distributing information to young people and promoting societal understanding of mental illnesses). His achievement is a model of collaboration between universities and society regarding young people's mental health. As part of Gunma University's recent community contribution project, three booklets on collaboration with society have been created and published. One of the booklets, published this spring, was in response to the revival of mental disorder education in high school health and physical education after a 40-year hiatus, and it received significant attention, including coverage in national newspapers. Alongside the practical application of optical topography examinations in diagnosing mental disorders through brain imaging research, these efforts aim to achieve a "mentally healthy society."
