Abstract:
Psychiatric disorders represent a significant socioeconomic and healthcare burden worldwide. Of these, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and anxiety are among the most prevalent. Unfortunately, diagnosis remains problematic and largely complicated by the lack of disease specific biomarkers. Accordingly, much research has focused on elucidating these conditions to more fully understand underlying pathophysiology and potentially identify biomarkers, especially those of early stage disease. In this chapter, we review current status of this endeavor as well as the potential development of novel biomarkers for clinical applications and future research study.
