Neuropsychiatric disorders impact hundreds of millions of patients, many of whom have poor or no treatment options. Yet, despite the enormous human cost and societal burden, there have been almost no new mechanisms to treat major neuropsychiatric disorders in decades as the target-based approach of identifying highly selective targeted compounds has failed to deliver new and improved treatments for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Instead, we rely on old drugs, some with serious side effects.
