What is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Unlike general counseling, psychiatry involves both medical and psychological approaches, including the use of medications, psychotherapy, and advanced therapies.

Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, addiction, and stress-related issues can affect every aspect of life — relationships, work, and physical health. Psychiatry helps patients regain emotional balance, improve their thinking and behavior, and enhance overall well-being.
