Zahvaljujući ranom otkrivanju bolesti, za razliku od samo nekoliko decenija ranije, danas je smanjena smrtnost srčanih bolesti za 63%. Tomas Insel, direktor Nacionalnog istituta za mentalno zdravlje se pita: da li bismo jednako mogli tretirati i depresiju i šizofreniju? Prvi korak na ovom novom putu istraživanja je, kaže, ključno preformulisanje: da prestanemo da mislimo o "mentalnim poremećajima" i da ih počnemo razumevati kao "moždane poremećaje".

U susret novom razumevanju 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.
