MEDICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF NEUROSPICHOPHARMACOLOGY AND THE NECESSITY AND RELEVANCE OF DEVELOPING THIS FIELD

The author demonstrates that since the National Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology was shut down, psychiatry has faced challenges, particularly in Hungary. He examines the key elements impeding psychiatry's advancement. He concludes that without a person's holistic approach, which presupposes the biological, mental, cultural-social, and spiritual approaches, the growth of psychiatry is unthinkable. Perceptual disturbances play specific roles in the development of psychopathological symptoms that derive from nervous system function. Despite being only fifty years old, this fact highlights the significance of the neurological system and neuropsychopharmacology, which we have understood since the dawn of time. He focuses on the psychoactive medication that was popular in prehistoric times. He examines a few of them, some of which were the earliest neuropsychopharmacological drugs. He highlights the dichotomy of psychopathological symptoms, which are dependent on the functioning of the nervous system by all means but are partially objective and partially subjective. His remarks guarantee the biological (neurological), psychological, cultural, and spiritual perpetuity while also establishing a new approach to both the individual and psychiatry. They also facilitate the development of psychiatry, the development of a new type of diagnostic system, and the elimination of differences among the experts who deal with people, including neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and theologians. The biological, genetic, psychic, cultural-social, and spiritual approaches, as well as the use of nanomedicine that makes it possible to identify the organic neurological underpinnings of psychiatric disorders—all of which are critical for future researchers—as well as for the advancement of neuropsychopharmacology based on nervous system function.
