New Lancet Regional Health – Americas Personal View: “Towards a Latin American neuropsychiatry.” This article calls for a regional, interdisciplinary approach to neuropsychiatry, linking clinical neuroscience, psychiatry, and public health to address Latin America’s unique challenges—violence, inequality, infections, and increased risk of brain injury and dementia. It proposes a model grounded in equity, cultural diversity, and scientific collaboration. Many thanks to @vaughanbell and @JRBneuropsiq for your leadership and for inviting me to participate, and congratulations to all the colleagues involved in this important piece.
