In the past century, the medical field has witnessed remarkable advancements, revolutionizing various disciplines. However, psychiatry has remained relatively stagnant, seemingly immune to these transformative changes. Daniel Barron, a psychiatrist who trained at the prestigious Yale School of Medicine, raises a crucial question: What is preventing psychiatry from progressing alongside other medical sciences?

To answer this question, Barron takes us on a journey to a psychiatric hospital, where he conducts an evaluation of a young woman suffering from psychosis. Through his examination, Barron highlights the limitations imposed by his own ability to ask questions and observe, as well as the patient's capacity to sense, interpret, and communicate her experiences. Barron argues that psychiatry must transcend the realm of conversation and embrace the use of sensors, measurements, and algorithms to advance its practice.

Reading Our Minds is a pioneering and captivating work that introduces readers to the potential of Big Data technologies in revolutionizing the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness. By delving into the realm of psychiatric evaluation, Barron demonstrates how these technologies can provide valuable insights and aid in the development of more effective treatments. The book serves as a timely reminder that psychiatry must embrace the latest advancements in medical science to remain relevant and effective in the 21st century.

In conclusion, Barron's book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges facing psychiatry and the potential solutions offered by Big Data technologies. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the field of mental health and the future of medical science.
