Today, the @WhiteHouse issued a new Executive Order on “Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness” a major step toward expanding access to innovative, evidence-based care.

Dr. Leanne Williams (@LMWilliams_PhD) was at the White House for the signing and noted: “This is a much needed bold move for precision mental health… accelerating access to personalized, targeted treatments. Our work is developing brain-based tests to understand why treatments work and who they’ll be most effective for. With this mandate, we can accelerate saving lives and getting people well sooner.”

A meaningful moment for the future of precision mental health.

🧠 Precision Mental Health Week | Transforming Mental Health Through Brain Circuit Science

From Circuits to Communities

What happens when a brain scan becomes part of the clinical conversation?

Last year, Dr. Eric van Staalduinen shared 'From Scan to Solution: The Role of Neuroimaging in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning,' exploring how neuroimaging can contribute to understanding mental health and informing individualized approaches to care.

▶️ Watch: https://t.co/4KW84Mxd2h

This research-to-clinic connection is reflected in the Stanford Precision Psychiatry Clinic, functional brain imaging is integrated into psychiatric evaluation to inform individualized treatment planning for patients with depression and anxiety.

📞 650-498-9111, option 2

Join us Sept. 25 for the 6th Annual Precision Mental Health Symposium and explore how brain circuit science is moving from discovery into real-world care.

This evening, we are highlighting the BRIDGE trial, a collaboration between Stanford CPMH and SimonMed.

This study explores how to translate cutting-edge precision mental health tools and neuroimaging directly to the clinic, allowing providers across the Bay Area to apply these innovations in their own practice.

The BRIDGE trial is currently recruiting clinicians for the project --- fill out an interest form at https://t.co/n8IAKASYdf.

This afternoon, we are spotlighting our SPARCLE study, which explores how an FDA-approved medication may treat one of the six circuit biotypes of depression identified by Dr. Williams and the team at the Center for Precision Mental Health.

The SPARCLE study is currently recruiting adults in California between 18 and 65 years old. To learn more or enroll in the SPARCLE study, check out our webpage at https://t.co/etRFMRLIlc.

To learn more about Dr. Akiki's work and how biomarker-guided trials are transforming the field, be sure to stop by the "Biomarkers and Precision Therapeutics: Transformational Strategies in Mental Health" panel during the Precision Mental Health Symposium this Friday, September 25!

🧠 DAY 3 | Research in action

Stay tuned throughout the day as we highlight several of our flagship studies in the Center for Precision Mental Health.

This morning, we are sharing our Accelerating Cognition Guided Signatures to Enhance Translation in Depression (ACE-D) Study. This study was made possible through our partnership with the NIH’s IMPACT-MH consortium, which strives to support mental health research that can transform psychiatric clinical practice. ACE-D explores how neuroimaging can be integrated into clinical decision-making to make depression diagnosis and treatment more precise, personal, and efficient.

To learn more about our studies, follow along throughout the day and connect with the investigators at our Precision Mental Health Symposium this Friday, September 25!

🧠 Day 2 | Precision Mental Health Week

Computational methods and brain-based data are transforming psychiatry. Two people with the same diagnosis can differ fundamentally in neurobiology and treatment response. Normative models and AI foundation models can capture this individual variation, moving the field from one-size-fits-all toward precision care that guides the right treatment to the right person.

Today, we’re highlighting Dr. Teddy Akiki (@teddyjakiki) and his work featured in Nature Computational Science @NatComputSci

🧠 Kicking off Precision Mental Health Week | Transforming Mental Health Through Brain Circuit Science

The future of mental health starts with discovery.

By studying how brain circuits shape thoughts, emotions, and behavior, researchers are uncovering groundbreaking ways to understand mental health—and opening new doors for precise prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

🎧 Start your week with discovery: Listen to Dr. Leanne Williams (@LMWilliams_PhD) on the From Your Neurons to Ours podcast from the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute (@StanfordBrain) as she explores how brain imaging is transforming mental health and where the field is heading next.
