Psychiatry is a field of medicine that includes the study, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health disorders. A person’s mental health is affected by a combination of factors that are both specific to an individual and related to interaction with the community, community and family. There are several components to mental health, including healthy self-esteem, communication skills, and resilience development. Psychiatry is also one of the oldest branches of medicine, but it has evolved significantly since the advent of neuroscience. Standardized guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders are available in various versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders. Examples of mental health problems that psychiatrists deal with include bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, personality disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizophrenia.
