Psychiatry stands as a medical field dedicated to identifying, averting, and managing mental health disorders, encompassing a spectrum of maladjustments concerning mood, behavior, cognition, and perception.
Mental health challenges can manifest abruptly, like panic attacks, alarming hallucinations, suicidal ideation, or auditory hallucinations. Conversely, they may persist over time, such as enduring feelings of sorrow, despair, or anxiety, along with impaired functioning, resulting in a distorted or overwhelmed sense of daily life.
Within psychiatry, all forms of psychological disorders are addressed and treated.
