What Are Psychiatric Disorders?

Psychiatric disorders disrupt a person’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, resulting in suffering or impairments in daily functioning. Severity ranges from mild to severe.

1. Common Types of Psychiatric Disorders

• Depressive Disorders: Persistent sadness, lack of pleasure, insomnia or hypersomnia, guilt, worthlessness, suicidal ideation
• Anxiety Disorders: Excessive fear or worry, palpitations, sweating, avoidance behavior, sleep issues, poor concentration
• Bipolar Disorder: Alternating manic and depressive episodes; mania includes high energy, impulsive spending, rapid thoughts/speech
• Schizophrenia: Hallucinations, delusions, disorganized behavior, poor social/work functioning
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Uncontrollable obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors interfering with daily life
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance, hypervigilance, mood swings
• ADHD: Inattention, restlessness, impulsivity, poor time management, insomnia

2. Causes of Mental Illness

• Genetics: Family history increases risk
• Chemical Imbalance: Neurotransmitter imbalances (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine)
• Psychosocial Stress: Family problems, work stress, poor environment
• Trauma: Abuse, accidents, loss of loved ones
• Substance Use: Drugs and alcohol disrupt brain function
• Biological & Hormonal Changes: Adolescence, pregnancy, or menopause

3. Risk Factors & Complications

• Chronic stress or trauma exposure may lead to suicidal ideation—immediate intervention is crucial
• Substance or alcohol use worsens symptoms or masks underlying conditions
• Physical comorbidities like chronic illness or malnutrition may increase psychiatric risks
• Lack of social/family support may impair communication and lead to isolation, conflict, and worsening symptoms if untreated

4. Treatment Options

4.1 Medication

• Antidepressants: Adjust serotonin/norepinephrine for depression and anxiety
• Antipsychotics: Treat hallucinations, delusions (schizophrenia, bipolar)
• Anxiolytics: Reduce anxiety and aid sleep; careful use due to dependency risks

4.2 Psychotherapy

• Supportive Therapy: Builds emotional resilience and stress management skills
• EMDR & Psychodynamic Therapy: For PTSD and trauma-related conditions

• Social/Environmental Enrichment: Family bonding, supportive friendships, relaxing hobbies, reduced exposure to toxic environments

6. Mental Health Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation aims to restore well-being after treatment through:

• Physical Recovery: Exercise to reduce stress and improve fitness

7. Medical Technology & Diagnostics

Modern psychiatric care integrates advanced technology to enhance treatment, especially in cases resistant to traditional therapy.

• TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation): Magnetic waves stimulate brain areas involved in depression or psychiatric conditions
• HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy): Increases brain oxygenation, supports neural healing, regulates cortisol effects, and balances brainwaves
