- Title
Psychiatry as a Clinical Neuroscience Discipline.
- Authors
Insel, Thomas R.; Quirion, Remi
- Abstract
The article presents commentary about psychiatry as a clinical neuroscience discipline. The article argues that mental disorders should be understood and treated as brain disorders. The basic sciences of psychiatry need to include genomics and neuroscience. The article discusses the genetic causes of mental disorders. The social and physical environment interacts with genetic vulnerability in a way that impacts the development of mental illness. Neuroimaging may eventually be used to show biomarkers for mental disorders. Psychiatrists will need to be educated as brain scientists in the future.
