Reading Our Minds: 

The Rise of Big Data Psychiatry

Columbia Global Reports (April 20, 2021)

What, exactly, is psychiatry? How do psychiatrists diagnose a patient’s mental disorders? The mental status exam is the bedrock of psychiatric clinical assessment, and it begins with, “Can you help me understand what’s going on?” But the mental status exam relies on a patient’s self-reporting and and a doctor’s subjective judgment. Lab results, blood tests, and physical exam measures heralded the Big Data approach to medicine decades ago. It is time that psychiatry undergoes the same transformation.
