Summary

In the past 100 years, there has been a revolution in our understanding of the brain. So far, this has done little to disrupt mainstream psychiatric practice. That is set to change. New neuroscience-based treatments are emerging, while evidence from neuroscience and genetics are calling into question traditional diagnostic boundaries. Psychiatrists of the future will need to integrate their understanding of brain imaging, molecular diagnostics, psychological factors and social context to provide neuroscience-informed care plans.
