Abstract
SummaryRecent genetic studies reinforce the view that current approaches to the
diagnosis and classification of major psychiatric illness are inadequate.
These findings challenge the distinction between schizophrenia and bipolar
disorder, and suggest that more attention should be given to the
relationship between the functional psychoses and neurodevelopmental
disorders such as autism. We are entering a transitional period of several
years during which psychiatry will need to move from using traditional
descriptive diagnoses to clinical entities (categories and/or dimensions)
that relate more closely to the underlying workings of the brain.
