Contemporary neuroscience shows that brain and mental health disorders share genetic susceptibilities, inflammatory and metabolic pathways, environmental and social risk factors, and clinical features that cross diagnostic boundaries. Cognitive, emotional, sensory, and motor symptoms regularly appear across both neurological and psychiatric populations, and conditions such as seizures, psychosis, mood disorders, cognitive disorders, and sleep disorders are common to both. A brain health framework addresses this reality by treating the brain as a single biological organ whose function emerges from the interplay between genome and exposome \u2013 including stress, trauma, social context, existential meaning, pollution, and physical health \u2013 and which underlies perception, behaviour, cognition, emotion, resilience, and vulnerability. Translating this perspective into practice requires coordinated action across domains. Clinically, collaborative models such as joint neurology\u2013psychiatry consultations and shared outpatient pathways can be implemented within existing resources to improve diagnostic clarity and continuity of care. In training, a more harmonised curriculum with shared foundations in neurobiology, joint seminars, and cross-rotations would equip clinicians with a common language while preserving specialist depth, and support the emerging fields of preventive neurology and preventive psychiatry. In research, organising studies around shared mechanisms and symptom dimensions, and launching joint funding calls, would enhance translational relevance and reduce duplication. To realise this vision, sustained leadership from European professional bodies is essential to establish collaboration as a shared professional standard.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1192\/j.eurpsy.2026.12222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,25]],"date-time":"2026-05-25T07:23:13Z","timestamp":1779693793000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["One
