Neuropsychiatric and neurologic diseases cause a great burden for individuals, families, and societies. Social isolation rearing can trigger a variety of psychiatric diseases. New advances suggest that epigenetic factors along with other neurochemical changes can be an important topic in neuropsychiatric diseases. It is thought that the prevention of social isolation rearing that occurs around birth can reduce the occurrence of neuropsychiatric diseases. It has been suggested that the environment can induce epigenetic alternation. So, for the diagnosis of a proportion of neuropsychiatric diseases, assessing epigenetic factors may be helpful. Also, apart from epigenetic factors, new advances have been made about new mechanisms of and treatments for such a disorder.
