Abstract
Recent years have seen a great advancement in the emerging field of Neural Computation, a study of the brain using neuronal network models. As a consequence, another field of science is being developed titled ‘Computational Psychiatry’ where neuronal network models of psychopathology help understand the possible etiology for mental disorders. With Computational Psychiatry we can begin and reformulate mental disorders as brain disorders. Etiological diagnosis in psychiatry will be the next breakthrough which will allow to effectively treat mental disorders and will bring psychiatry back to the realm of medicine Computational Psychiatry together with advances in technology, will transform psychiatry beyond recognition: With the development of the connecting internet and sensor technology (e.g., face speech recognition) mental status examination can be easily extracted and delivered over distance (tele-psychiatry). With the help of AI the extracted psychiatric phenomenology can be interpreted to match most of the diagnostic process of a skilled psychiatrist. Once achieved a continual psychiatric monitoring coupled with new technology of wireless dry-electrode electrophysiological brain imaging can begin and collect big-data. Big-data analysis stand a good chance to reveal the etiological correlations between mental disorders and their brain-related origins. Thus, etiology for mental disorders can begin to unravel. Neural modulation technology will be the answer for effective therapeutic interventions (i.e., future brain pacers).DisclosureI am in a preliminary effort to develop a Digital application in the field of Psychiatry
Highlights
In theory and practice early intervention has an indisputable role in the treatment of patients with psychotic disorders, modern psychiatrists face challenges in their clinical work to find the balance between the best practice and available treatment options in their environment
One very important aspect to consider when implementing early intervention is to prepare your team for resistance against the innovation
In countries where psychiatric treatment is more hospital-oriented and out-patient care is limited to short face-to-face visits with psychiatrists, the system is rigid and unwilling to step up to more expanded treatment option, such as a team approach of more than 6 members to treat one patient
Summary
In theory and practice early intervention has an indisputable role in the treatment of patients with psychotic disorders, modern psychiatrists face challenges in their clinical work to find the balance between the best practice and available treatment options in their environment. Guided by the public health perspective, a universal early intervention framework, underscoring improved access to care, may represent a better strategy.
