Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The link between depression and anxiety represents a major global health challenge, characterised by a complex aetiology, diverse clinical manifestations, and varied therapeutic responses. Recent advances in understanding the neurobiological basis of depression and/or anxiety, the development of innovative pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions, and the integration of digital health technologies offer new opportunities for improved diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management. Emerging precision medicine approaches, new biomarkers, and personalised treatment strategies have the potential to optimise therapeutic outcomes, improve resilience, and prevent relapse. In addition, the incorporation of patient-centred care models, remote therapy and digital interventions are transforming the mental healthcare landscape, offering accessibility and personalised support.
This Special Issue aims to comprehensively explore the current landscape of the link between depression and anxiety to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of these diagnoses, with a focus on personalised medicine, new therapies, and the psychosocial dimensions of the disorders. By addressing these critical aspects, this Special Issue seeks to promote interdisciplinary dialogue, fill existing knowledge gaps and highlight future directions for research and clinical practice.
Dr. Stefano Eleuteri
