Controversies in psychiatry

Florence Thibaut. Dialogues Clin Neurosci. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

Neuroimaging and recent genetics discoveries have raised many questions regarding the current diagnostic criteria of psychiatric diseases and the current classifications used, which are still based on subjective clinical assessment. Despite high-quality research in brain neuroscience and evidence-based guidelines in many psychiatric diseases, some therapeutic issues are still a matter of debate. These controversial issues will be discussed in this 20th anniversary issue.

Keywords: biomarker; controversy; genetics; precision medicine; psychiatry.
