What if mental health care worked more like cancer treatment—tailored to the individual, informed by biology, and driven by data? Charles Marmar, MD, Chair of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, takes us through the latest advances in precision psychiatry. From brain imaging to digital phenotyping, Dr. Marmar outlines the tools shaping a future where treatment is fully customized. He also shares stories from the front lines: a patient whose depression was treated with the help of a brain biopsy, why PTSD and depression aren’t one-size-fits-all, and how quantum computing could radically accelerate psychiatric research.
