Interventional psychiatry is an emerging subspecialty that uses a variety of procedural neuromodulation techniques in the context of an electrocircuit-based view of mental dysfunction as proximal causes for psychiatric diseases.
The authors propose the development of an interventional psychiatry-training paradigm analogous to those found in cardiology and neurology.
The proposed comprehensive training in interventional psychiatry would include didactics in the theory, proposed mechanisms, and delivery of invasive and noninvasive brain stimulation.
The development and refinement of this subspecialty would facilitate safe, effective growth in the field of brain stimulation by certified and credentialed practitioners within the field of psychiatry while also potentially improving the efficacy of current treatments.
介入精神病学是一个新兴的亚专业,它在基于电回路的精神功能障碍近端病因的观点下,使用各种程序神经调节技术来治疗精神疾病。
作者提出了发展介入精神病学培训模式的建议,类似于心脏病学和神经病学中的模式。
拟议的介入精神病学综合培训将包括理论、拟议的机制以及侵入性和非侵入性脑刺激的传授方面的教学。
该亚专业的发展和完善将有助于精神病学领域的认证和有资质的从业者在脑刺激领域安全、有效地发展,同时也有可能提高现有治疗方法的疗效。
