Psychiatry still diagnoses and treats largely on the basis of what patients report about their own symptoms. My research asks whether measurements of the brain can do better: sharpening diagnosis, explaining why some people develop psychiatric disorders while others do not, and predicting which treatment will work for a given patient. I work across obsessive-compulsive, anxiety and mood disorders, using brain scans from thousands of people, machine learning, and studies that follow the same individuals over many years, to understand individual differences rather than the “average” patient.
