Transforming Psychiatry Through Novel Neuroscience: Computational and Developmental Frameworks Guided by Research Domain Criteria

Mental and substance use disorders account for more than 7% of the global burden of disease and are the leading cause of disability in young people (1,2). In terms of lost productivity, the cumulative disability due to depression alone exacts an annual cost of $201 billion in the United States (3). The toll on young people is especially alarming; in the United States, the suicide rate among 15- to 24-year-olds has tripled since the 1950s (4). This alarming situation has created an escalating sense of urgency for innovations in clinical neuroscience.
