Biological Psychiatry

Biological psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry that focuses on understanding mental disorders through the lens of biological factors, such as genetics, brain chemistry, and neuroanatomy. It examines how changes in the brain and body can influence behaviors, emotions, and thinking. This approach often integrates the use of medications, alongside psychotherapy, to treat conditions like depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, aiming to restore balance in the brain's functioning. By exploring the interplay between biology and mental health, biological psychiatry strives to develop effective treatment strategies tailored to individuals’ needs.
