Feature Papers to Celebrate the Inaugural Issue of SANPP

Dear Colleagues, 

It is a great pleasure to present the inaugural issue of the Swiss Archives of Neurology, Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (SANPP). SANPP carries a century old tradition of scientific exchange among psychiatrists and neurologists in Switzerland and beyond. With this continuation, the journal marks a new hallmark in its long history, with the aim of bringing the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy closer together through international communication. In today's society, mental health and its interaction with external and environmental factors call for rapid adaptation and constant refinement in diagnostics and treatment. As the complexity of neurological and psychiatric conditions, individually and as co-occurring components, is yet to be fully understood, we welcome original contributions set in clinically relevant, patient-oriented contexts that help advance this understanding. This may include research articles, reviews, and case reports addressing novel diagnostic techniques, precision medicine, prevention, treatment strategies, and/or AI-assisted approaches in psychiatry and neurology. We particularly encourage submissions with a focus on integrating psychotherapy with neurological care as well as public health perspectives such as disease burden and health care services in the field. Beyond these areas, we also welcome work engaging with urgent and timely questions in mental health and neurological disease that carry broader societal relevance. We look forward to your contributions as we open this new chapter for SANPP.
