“Suicide is a public health issue, but also a deeply personal one. Tools such as brain imaging and brain stimulation give psychiatrists the ability to study and treat neuropsychiatric disorders in patients. Understanding how these diseases affect the brain gives healthcare providers better ways to improve the lives of patients with these devastating disorders.”
