Anxiety, depression and related affective disorders are the most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide, but the underlying mechanisms of emotions are also the least understood by modern science. Virtually all psychiatric disorders are characterized, or at least accompanied, by some degree of emotional disturbance. Affective neuroscience studies brain mechanisms underlying emotional behaviour. Affective neuroscience increasingly contributes to the insight in the underlying biological mechanisms of psychological therapy and can thus drive the improvement of current therapies and development of new ones. These developments in the field illustrate the need for interdisciplinary and translational approaches to come to a deeper understanding of emotions.
