title: Paving the way for new research strategies in mental disorders. Second part: the light at the end of the tunnel.
abstract: Following we consider strategies to overcome the situation described in a previous article (López-Ibor JJ, López-Ibor MI. Paving the Way for New Research Strategies in Mental Disorders. First part: the recurring crisis of psychiatry. Actas Esp Psiquiat. 2013;41(1):33-43), by putting emphasis on psychopathology instead than in classification, in functions rather than in diagnostic criteria, to be aware in the progress in neuroscientific monistic perspectives and by importing the methods of the emerging connectomics. Medicine is undergoing deep changes. Networking is becoming the new paradigm and we consider that it should be the turning point of the future psychiatry, both in research and in practice.
