Zahvaljujući boljoj ranoj dijagnostici, danas su srčane bolesti uzrok 63% manje smrtnih slučajeva, no što je to bilo prije samo nekoliko desetljeća. Thomas Insel, direktor Nacionalnog instituta za mentalno zdravlje, pita se: Možemo li isto učiniti i u slučaju depresije i shizofrenije? Prvi korak u ovom novom polju istraživanja, misaoni je zaokret: prestanimo misliti o njima kao o "mentalnim poremećajima" i počnimo ih doživljavati kao "moždane poremećaje" (Snimljeno na TEDxCaltech.)

Thomas Insel: K novom razumijevanju mentalnih bolesti

Medical breakthroughs like an 85 percent drop in childhood leukemia deaths show the power of early detection and intervention. Yet, mental disorders remain the top cause of disability, often starting before age 14, and contribute to tragic outcomes like suicide. The key shift is to see depression, schizophrenia, and related conditions not as invisible 'mind' issues, but as brain disorders, opening the door to earlier, more effective treatment. Advances in brain science may let society intervene long before symptoms destroy lives.
