Psychiatric Diseases
A section of Brain Sciences (ISSN 2076-3425).
Section Information
The Psychiatric Diseases Section gathers the best available scientific evidence to guide clinical practice in the treatment of psychiatric illnesses. Original articles and reviews which advance our understanding of the etiology, course, and treatment of psychiatric illnesses are welcome. Papers reporting sound evidence-based practices which provide safeguards against reporting bias and promote the reproducibility of study procedures and the replicability of results, for example through the preregistration of study hypotheses, will also be highly valued.
