Psychiatric disorder

A psychiatric disorder is a mental health condition that affects a person’s thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or mood, making it difficult to function normally in daily life. These disorders, which include depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, are caused by a combination of biological, environmental, and psychological factors. They are common and treatable, often requiring therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Recognizing and seeking help for psychiatric disorders can improve well-being and functioning. It’s important to understand they are medical conditions, not personal weaknesses, and support and understanding can aid in recovery.
