Mental health represents a major challenge to our societies. One key difficulty associated with neuropsychiatric drug development is the lack of connection between the underlying biology and the disease. Nevertheless, there is growing optimism in this field with recent drug approvals (the first in decades) and renewed interest from pharmaceutical companies and investors. Here we review some of the most promising drug discovery and development endeavors currently deployed by industry. We also present elements illustrating the renewed interest from key stakeholders in neuropsychiatric drug development and provide potential future directions in this field.

Abstract
Mental health represents a major challenge to our societies. One key difficulty associated with neuropsychiatric drug development is the lack of connection between the underlying biology and the disease. Nevertheless, there is growing optimism in this field with recent drug approvals (the first in decades) and renewed interest from pharmaceutical companies and investors. Here we review some of the most promising drug discovery and development endeavors currently deployed by industry. We also present elements illustrating the renewed interest from key stakeholders in neuropsychiatric drug development and provide potential future directions in this field.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
