DateI support the new path in psychiatric diagnosis proposed in the 2010 article. Since there is a I between clinical consensus and clinical neuroscience as far as diagnostic categories, a conclusive stand must be adopted for the sake of the psychiatric discipline. Clinical neuroscience is a relatively new concept and therefore it must be promoted and tested despite any challenges that may arise along the way. I agree that certain psychiatric disorders tend to be predicted genetically and therefore, a neurobiological diagnosis system may prove essential in the long run.
In the 2014 article. Certain arguments I support are made. Precision medicine is an important element that must be adopted if improvements in patient outcomes are to be made. Drugs that are responsive to certain genetic characteristics should be pursued in light of all the genetic knowledge available today. In psychiatry, precision medicine means that more accurate descriptions of symptoms and behaviors can be made and consequently, better diagnosis and treatment of patients. Such improvements would be beneficial to both psychiatrists and patients.
