Mental illnesses arise from dysfunction in the brain. Although numerous extraneural factors influence these illnesses, ultimately, it is the science of the brain that will lead to novel therapies. Meanwhile, our understanding of this complex organ is incomplete, leading to the oft-repeated trope that neuroscience has yet to make significant contributions to the care of individuals with mental illnesses. This review seeks to counter this narrative, using specific examples of how neuroscientific advances have contributed to progress in mental health care in the past and how current achievements set the stage for further progress in the future.
