Neuroimaging the Psychologically Distrubed Brain

Abstract

In closing, neuroimaging of the psychologically disturbed brain can present abnormalities structurally or functionally when mental illness such as PTSD, bipolar disorder or MDD has been suspected. Additionally, not all psychiatric disorders are treated the same, but by imaging the patient, physicians can diagnose and treat the patient properly. More research needs to be done on how to make studies of mental illness better, but neuroimaging has come a long way, and there is no telling where future research will take us.
