  • First Online:
Frontiers in Psychiatry

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 1192))

Abstract

Theoretical psychiatry considers theoretical problems in psychiatry as well as the quality and effectiveness of mental health care. This chapter addresses the idea of predictive, preventive, precision, personalized, and participatory medicine in psychiatry from a theoretical transdisciplinary integrative perspective and systems networking. The aim of the chapter is to bring together some current ideas and concepts such as computational neuroscience, network theory, multi-omics profile, precision medicine, and person-centered psychiatry as a coherent system of theory and practice.
