Biological Psychiatry is the official journal

and clinical contributions from all disciplines and research areas relevant to the pathophysiology and treatment of major psychiatric
disorders.
The journal publishes novel results of original research which represent an important new lead or significant impact on

therapeutic approaches. Reviews and commentaries that focus on topics of current research and interest are also encouraged.
