Advancements in Antipsychotics

Dear Colleagues,

Antipsychotic medications are the primary pharmacotherapeutic option used in the treatment of severe mental illness, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder; however, their use is expanding to several other populations and disease states. Antipsychotics, while efficacious, exhibit a high degree of interindividual effectiveness as well as side effects leading to non-adherence. The exact mechanisms underlying the heterogeneous response to antipsychotic treatment remain to be fully elucidated. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect and publish findings on recent advancements in antipsychotic research. This Special Issue is especially focused on omic-type studies of antipsychotic treatment outcomes but can also include imaging studies, other mechanism-type studies or adjunct treatment studies. Submissions can include original research or review articles.
