Prevention of Mental Illness: An Idea Whose Time Has Come – Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman

Jeffrey Lieberman, M.D., of Columbia University, explains why prevention must soon be a first-line approach to addressing the problem of mental illness worldwide, and how this approach is now being developed at today’s institutions, enabled by early detection and biomarker discovery. If young people at risk for psychosis can be given proper therapy to prevent a psychotic break, their life prospects can be improved. Keynote recorded at One Mind’s Music Festival for Mental Health 2012.
