Stanford CPMH 🧠

The Stanford Center for Precision Mental Health (Stanford CPMH) is a research and clinical initiative based in Palo Alto, California. Its vision is to translate neuroscience insights about the human brain into practical psychiatric care that improves individual lives. The Center studies meaningful differences among people with mental health conditions, combining brain-circuit, behavioral, clinical, and other patient-level measures to better understand needs beyond traditional diagnoses.

Its work focuses on identifying biologically relevant differences, personalizing treatment, and improving outcomes. Researchers use precision measures, including Personalized Circuit Scores and Precision Circuit Mapping, to inform treatment selection and identify who may benefit from emerging therapies. Areas of study include medications, behavioral treatments, neuromodulation, ketamine, MDMA-assisted therapy, and psilocybin. The Center also develops human-centered, explainable AI and clinical decision support to help translate research into real-world care.

Stanford CPMH offers opportunities to participate in research through studies and a research registry. Its programs include the Stanford Translational Precision Mental Health Clinic, and it shares research updates, events, educational resources, and announcements for the public and research community.
