Abstract

The torrent of discoveries in neuroscience is being gradually translated into pharmaceutical and instrumental methods of CNS treatment. Innovative treatments such as the implantation of electrodes deep in the brain to treat severe neuropsychiatric disorders, and trials of new medications show promising results. They are based on a true understanding of how the brain functions in health and disease. It is more and more possible to guide treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, coming up directly with basic principles grounded in neuroscience. The article outlines new drugs and technologies that make neuropsychiatric therapies more effective. Some new data about lifestyle that influence mental health are also presented.
