Toward a new understanding of mental illnessToday, thanks to better early detection, there are 63% fewer deaths from heart disease than there were just a few decades ago.

The first step in this new avenue of research, he says, is a crucial reframing: for us to stop thinking about "mental disorders" and start understanding them as "brain disorders."
