This inter-university PhD Program in Health, Psychology and Psychiatry from the University of Almería and the Rovira i Virgili University (Coordinating University) groups together specific fields of study related to Health, in general, and Mental Health in particular, encompassing aspects of Psychology as well as Psychiatry, neurotoxicology and neurorehabilitation. It is also supported by a set of consolidated and accredited research lines and groups, both nationally and internationally.

The doctorate, is articulated from two previous PhD Programs, Genetic Mental Health and the Environment (a program with a mention of excellence), which originated from merging the PhD in Genetic and Environmental Psychiatry with the PhD in Neurotoxicology and Psychopharmacology (a PhD Program with a MEC Quality Mention since 2004). In this sense, the doctorate has been repeatedly accredited for 8 years, corresponding to the quality mentions and the subsequent excellence mention it has obtained.
