Common Pathologies
Mood Disorders: Linked to neurotransmitter imbalances (Serotonin, Dopamine, Norepinephrine).
Psychotic Disorders: Often involving structural brain changes or overactive dopaminergic pathways.
Neurodegenerative Conditions: Such as Alzheimer's, where protein misfolding leads to cognitive decline.
