Psychiatry is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses and emotional disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in understanding the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to mental health conditions. They employ a range of therapeutic interventions, including psychotherapy, medications, and other modalities, to help individuals manage and overcome mental health challenges.
Psychiatry covers a broad spectrum of conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders. The field has evolved to include a biopsychosocial approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of biological, psychological, and social factors in mental health.
