description <p>Pharmacological interventions are a cornerstone of psychiatric practice. The taxonomies used to classify these interventions influence the treatment and interpretation of psychiatric symptoms. Disease-based classification systems (e.g., &lsquo;antidepressant&rsquo; and &lsquo;antipsychotic&rsquo;) do not reflect the fact that psychotropic agents are used across diagnostic categories, nor account for the dimensional nature of both the psychopathology and biology of psychiatric illnesses.</p> <p>In this review we discuss the history of psychotropic drug taxonomies and their influence on both clinical practice and drug development. We frame taxonomies as existing on a spectrum, with high-level disease-based approaches at one end and target-based molecular approaches at the other. Finally, we consider how data-driven methods might address the issue of classification at an intermediate level, based around transdiagnostic neurobiological and psychopathological markers.</p>
