Introduction

Tunneling Molecular Psychiatry (TMP) is a mechanism-first approach to evaluation and management of psychiatric cases that prioritizes CNS protection, patient safety, patient-centered care, diagnostic rigor, developmental attunement, longitudinal surveillance, epistemic humility, evidence-based practice, trauma science, patient advocacy, bioethics, integrative care, clinician accountability, and much more. It is a correction to legacy psychiatry, which is the status quo.
