Abstract:
For mental disorders, identifying biomarkers with high specificity, sensitivity, and validity is an essential way to overcome systemic limitations of the diagnostic system based on clinical phenomenology and achieve precise treatment. In a nutshell, we pinpoint the primary reasons for the current delays in biomarker research for mental disorders and the main confusion and propose strategies to address the existing challenges. Integrating innovative approaches, new methods, and novel technologies will bolster the progress in this domain.
