The Lancet Psychiatry

The Lancet Psychiatry debuted both in print and online in June 2014, joining the ranks of other specialized Lancet publications like The Lancet Oncology and The Lancet Neurology. It provides a quick publication process similar to its sister journals, allowing authors of selected research papers to have their work published online within 8 weeks after submission. This journal features a variety of article types related to psychiatry, including Original Research, Reviews, Personal Views, Comments, and News pieces. It addresses topics such as psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and psychosocial strategies for treating various psychiatric disorders throughout different stages of life. The Lancet Psychiatry highlights new treatment methods and the biological research that supports these advancements, innovative service delivery approaches, and fresh perspectives on mental health issues promoted by social psychiatry. The journal also strongly supports the rights of individuals with mental health conditions and encourages contributions from service users.
