Q. Where will the breakthroughs come in treating schizophrenia?

Jeffrey A. Lieberman, M.D.
Answer By: Jeffrey A. Lieberman, M.D.
Scientific Council Member
Lawrence C. Kolb Professor and Chairman of Psychiatry
Columbia University Medical Center

“The single biggest thing that would aid research in mental illnesses and the practice of psychiatry is to have a diagnostic test for schizophrenia and other major mental illnesses … and I think we’re actually close to having that.”

Video from March, 2010 - filmed at the 7th Annual Palm Beach Symposium
