Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One in eight people worldwide lives with a mental disorder, making it one of the most common health problems globally. Mental health is the ability to cope with the stresses in life, learn and remember, and adapt to the environment. Mental illness not only causes significant physical and emotional suffering but also increases the risk of premature death. Treatment for mental health conditions is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Mental health can be influenced by many factors at multiple levels—individual, familial, societal and environmental. Not everyone exposed to a risk factor will experience mental health problems, and the risk factors can vary across the lifespan. Understanding the brain's response to these risk factors and pathological neurocircuitry mechanisms underlying mental disorders is an important step for developing effective treatment plans and facilitating recovery for psychiatric patients. Therefore, innovative approaches to diagnose and treat mental illness are urgently needed.
The Special Issue “Mental Health: Clinical Advances in Personalized Medicine” aims to explore the mechanisms of mental illnesses of different etiologies and to discover advanced methods for diagnosis and treatment. This initiative aligns with the global efforts to improve mental health care and well-being while supporting those affected by mental illnesses.
We invite authors to submit original works in the above fields in the form of clinical research, literature review, translational research, meta-analyses, etc. This Special Issue will foster a deeper understanding of vulnerability and resilience in mental disorders and promote the development of effective and personalized treatments.
