Molecular Psychiatry

Molecular Psychiatry is a field of research that explores the biological and genetic factors behind mental health disorders. It aims to understand how changes at the molecular level—such as in genes, proteins, and brain chemistry—contribute to conditions like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. By focusing on the interplay between biology and behavior, scientists hope to uncover new treatment options and improve diagnostics. This approach combines psychology, neuroscience, and genetics to better understand the complex nature of mental illness and to promote more effective, personalized care for individuals affected by these disorders.
