Special Issue on Advances in Mental Illness Research

Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and so on. Mental disorders are common. Some disorders may be very limited in their functional effects, while others may involve substantial disability and support needs. The causes of mental disorders are varied and in some cases unclear. As large numbers of people suffer from mental illness, and effective treatment is still not available, close attention and further research seem to be necessary and significant.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring advances in mental illness research. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Classification of mental disorders
• Common mental illness
• Signs and symptoms
• Causes of mental disorders
• Diagnosis of mental disorders
• Prevention and management
• Prevalence of mental disorders
• Society and culture
• Perception and discrimination
• Relevant laws and policies
• Mental health
• Animal psychopathology
  
  

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Advances in Mental Illness Research” should be chosen during your submission.
