Insel ´s Self-Critic

Former NIMH head Insel acknowledges that the RDoC funding priority has not resulted in moving the field closer to his hoped-for goal of “precision medicine for psychiatry.”

“I spent 13 years at NIMH really pushing on the neuroscience and genetics of mental disorders, and when I look back on that I realize that while I think I succeeded at getting lots of really cool papers published by cool scientists at fairly large costs—I think $20 billion—I don’t think we moved the needle in reducing suicide, reducing hospitalizations, improving recovery for the tens of millions of people who have mental illness,” Insel says. “I hold myself accountable for that.”
