Future trends in psychiatry?

Wondering about future diagnostic and intervention trends (especially about the possible uses of imaging technology) that you all envision (or are already employing) in the practice of psychiatry.
Also, where I may find more on this subject.
Thanks in advance. 🙂

The use of specialty devices seems likely:

So that's the secret to your assessment and treatment skills, huh?

I've had good results with the psionic helmet (Kit [includes plans]: $290.00). It increases the compliance of my patients greatly.

It's sort of like jedi mind control, but without the lightsaber.

For psychiatrists on a budget, one can purchase the slightly less expensive crystal power rod for $210.00

I was trained to use it in residency by my attending, Dr. Jojo.

Isn't fMRI all the rage?

But doesn't the treatment always remain some combination of an anti-psychotic, an anti-depressant, and/or a mood stabilizer and if that fails go to ECT?

And when those fail, blame the mother.

I thought the idea was to blame the mother BEFORE we started psychopharmacology.
