Psychopharmacology has revolutionised the practice of psychiatry and continues to evolve with developments in psychiatric nosology. It has provided the bridge for elucidating the biology of psychiatric disorders and has refined diagnostic distinctions with the introduction of highly specific agents such as lithium. Prediction in psychopharmacology has enhanced the clinical validity of psychiatric syndromes and has contributed to the delineation of meaningful subgroups, with implications for clinical practice.
