JOURNAL OF NERVOUS AND MENTAL DISEASE
ABOUT THE JOURNAL
Founded in 1874, the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (JNMD) is the world's oldest independent scientific monthly journal in the field of human behavior. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles containing new data or ways of reorganizing established knowledge relevant to the understanding and treatment of diseases affecting the brain, including epidemiology, etiology, psychopathology, diagnosis, therapy, and the outcome of diseases encountered in clinical practice. In particular, we welcome manuscripts whose findings have cross-cultural applicability as we work to maintain and build our commitment to diversity in our publishing goals. The journal does not publish content dealing specifically with biological psychiatry, neuroscience, psychopharmacology, and/or novel methodology.

Clinical Controversy
Clinical Controversies are devoted to airing controversial issues related to psychiatry, presenting differing and evolving points of view. We are interested in opinions and ideas, as well as areas of agreement and disagreement (for example, articles on the pros and cons of splitting of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology so that patients are treated separately by different practitioners). Clinical Controversies do not rely primarily on research data, but rather on the valued opinions rendered on the basis of clinical experiences in differing settings or environments. Ideally, these manuscripts should read more like an editorial than a data-driven paper.
Clinical Controversies are curated by a special editorial team interested in facilitating the expression of perspectives. Based on the decision of this special editorial team, these manuscripts may or may not be sent for external peer review.
