 Psychiatry is a branch of medicine dealing with the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the mind and mental illness.
Its primary goal is the relief of mental suffering associated with symptoms of disorder and improvement of mental well-being. This may be based in hospitals or in the community and patients may be voluntary or involuntary.
Psychiatry adopts a medical approach but may take into account biological, psychological, and social/cultural perspectives.
Treatment by medication in conjunction with various forms of psychotherapy may be undertaken and has proved most effective in successful treatment. |
