<\/p>\nHow prepared are health systems to make these types of treatments standard?<\/b><\/p>\n
That\u2019s such a big question. I believe what\u2019s changed in the last six months to a year \u2014 and it\u2019s led to this commission \u2014 is the will of the health systems to do it. And that\u2019s in direct relation to the will of the field, the families, the patients. What it will take, I believe, is grassroots work. Demonstrating it in action \u2014 which is what we\u2019re proposing to do as part of the commission. So, there\u2019ll be thought leaders like us, and other partner thought leaders, who demonstrate it in action, and then that leads to discussion around the bigger policy health care issues that surround it \u2026 reimbursement, payers, all of that. And we see if this can happen, if we can create that inflection point.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve addressed the issue of stigma openly; do you sense that has softened?<\/b><\/p>\n
Yes, and that\u2019s a big part of creating the momentum to do something like this. A lot of my positivity about that is coming from young people, who are speaking openly about it. Athletes and other people in the public limelight, people who at one point maybe wouldn\u2019t have spoken about it, are now speaking about it. You also see the explosion of health tech companies focusing on mental health, and that\u2019s a big shift. I think the circuit part of circuit-based precision mental health is now seen as very important \u2014 and something people are genuinely excited about. There are more young people wanting to enter the field, which for many years was not the case. Now they see new, exciting progress in mental health care.<\/p>\n
Your team has been testing these concepts clinically. What has inspired you about the results?<\/b><\/p>\n
I\u2019ve found that families, and patients, really respond to data that explains what is getting disrupted in their brain. They understand why we\u2019re choosing a particular treatment. Having a scan helps us understand which options are likely to be effective. If we can match a particular person\u2019s circuit type to a treatment, we can double the chance of their getting better. And that means you could get it right the first time, instead of playing whack-a-mole with meds, trying one and not really knowing if it will work when the patient is already in a state of deep distress.<\/p>\n
But most of this work remains at the research level, so what you\u2019re embarking upon is a mission to integrate it into clinical action, right?<\/b><\/p>\n
The research side has made serious accelerations, so I think there\u2019s been an implicit assumption that if you can get a good model, and a good predictor, it will somehow naturally make its way into practice. That has been the good-faith feeling among researchers. This is our effort to take these important developments and get them deployed clinically, to think through how to make that work, so that we don\u2019t go any longer without putting them to good use.<\/p>\n
