The big shift that's taking place is the gradual removal of nosology (disease classification) from its pedestal in psychiatry - naming symptoms as the foundation of all practice and services, which no other area of medicine does anymore - and replacing it with a scientific framework for discovering dysfunctional mechanisms at every level from genetic to neural to behavioural. This was started by Thomas Insell / NIMH (named in the article) and has been followed in the EU. The framework is called RDoC and you should familiarise yourself with it if you've been influenced by psychiatric literature or practice as to your own mental health.
