Complexities and conundrums in mental health

Abstract

Delegates at the 16th Latest Advances in Psychiatry Symposium held in London in March 2017, were treated to a cornucopia of data and insights from the latest research into a range of psychiatric illnesses. Psychiatry is fully intent on proving its worth with brain imaging, genetics, and many other sophisticated clinical research techniques being used to demonstrate its interventions have value. Steve Titmarsh sat back and took it all in and here reports on some of what intrigued him most.
