Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innovative therapeutic approaches in neuropsychiatric disorders are revolutionizing the treatment landscape for conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and PTSD. Advances in molecular biology, genetics, and neuroimaging have led to a deeper understanding of these disorders’ pathophysiology. Current treatments include neuromodulation techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS), which directly alter brain activity to alleviate symptoms. Pharmacogenomics enables personalized medicine, tailoring treatments based on individual genetic profiles to improve efficacy and reduce side effects. Additionally, novel pharmacotherapies, including psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine, are showing promise in clinical trials for their rapid and sustained effects on mood disorders. These innovative approaches, grounded in cutting-edge research, offer hope for more effective and personalized treatments, ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals with neuropsychiatric conditions. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research that explores innovative therapeutic approaches at the molecular level for neuropsychiatric disorders.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
