Abstract
Almost one in eight people are affected by psychiatric disorders, which are rising rapidly due to lifestyle and dietary changes.
- Current diagnostic and treatment strategies for psychiatric disorders are often ineffective.
- Nanomedicine may help overcome significant barriers to treatment, including the blood-brain barrier and poor drug solubility.
- Nanocarriers like polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes show improved brain targeting and can enhance therapeutic efficacy.
- Applications of nanomedicine could benefit various psychiatric conditions, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and autism.
- Innovative delivery systems may facilitate site-specific drug delivery and reduce systemic side effects.
