The JCI (Journal of Clinical Investigation) launched a review series about new perspectives on mental disorders. In the review series introduction, Thomas R. Insel, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, writes about “disruptive” insights in psychiatry: new insights into pathophysiology of mental illnesses that are transforming the understanding of the clinical discipline.
“A new and deep understanding of the pathophysiology of these disabling disorders is our best hope for a new generation of treatments that will help patients to recover.”
