Personalized Treatment and Management of Psychiatric Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Personalized treatment and management of psychiatric disorders, unlike traditional approaches that have been based on a single clinical characteristic, represents a new era of personalized psychiatry tailored to the individual patient’s unique neurobiological, molecular, genetic, epigenetic, neurophysiological, neuroimaging, immunological, oxidative, metabolic, hormonal aspects and clinical characteristics to specify a therapeutic approach to avoid the practice of trial-and-error prescriptions, minimizing adverse effects, maximizing effectiveness, improving clinical outcomes, and reducing the cost of both clinical trials and mental health care in general. It has the potential to transform the psychiatric landscape and revolutionize mental health care. Many breakthroughs in technologies and informatics have been drivers in the advance of this field. Due to limitations in research, this field remains in its early phase. This Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine aims to embody the current scientific knowledge and the state-of-the-art research findings focusing on, but not limited to, the field of personalized treatment and management of psychiatric disorders. We welcome research papers, clinical trials, and reviews addressing factors that contribute to the scientific advances in this field.
