What is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry is a highly significant branch of science primarily dealing with brain disorders and addressing conditions commonly referred to as mental illnesses in everyday language. It encompasses the examination and management of mental illnesses and conditions such as emotional disturbances. These disorders manifest in various ways, and psychiatry manages the diagnosis and treatment processes for all these conditions characterized by differences in thought, behavior, and emotions.

Professionals responsible for managing these treatment and observation processes are called psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. These clinics facilitate the application of appropriate tests to individuals. Particularly with early and timely interventions for children, very positive results can be achieved through processes such as intelligence tests, special children's games, personalized tests, early counseling, child and family counseling, and play therapies. This allows for a detailed examination of individuals, and treatment processes are developed accordingly.

Psychiatric Disorders
Psychiatry, defined as mental health and diseases, is examined in two main categories: child adolescent psychiatry and adult psychiatry. Studies on mental health and diseases that may occur in individuals aged 18 and older are conducted by adult psychiatry.

Diagnosis of Psychiatric Disorders

To diagnose psychiatric disorders, the individual's behavioral and emotional disorders are thoroughly examined. The expert applies important tests such as interviews, diagnostic examinations, and psychometric tests during all these diagnostic stages. Patients share all their complaints with the specialist during the interview. Therefore, it is emphasized that the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders is as important as the treatment methods.

Rahatsızlıklardan ötürü ortaya çıkacak semptomlar ise teşhise yönelik önemli bulgular olarak ön plana çıkar. Bu kapsamdaki rahatsızlıkların tanısı sürecinde, o rahatsızlığa neden olan etkenler de en detaylı şekilde araştırılır. Biyolojik, fizyolojik ve kalıtımsal sebepler bu konuda belirleyici unsurlardır. Teşhis koyma sürecinde ise mutlaka bir uzmandan yardım alınması gerekir. Doğru teşhis yöntemleri ve uygun bir tedavi süreci ile çok etkili sonuçlar elde edilebilir.

Psikiyatri Hastalığı Belirtileri Nelerdir
Psikiyatri hastalığı belirtileri, farklı konular dahilinde ortaya çıkabilir. Mesela kişi bu süreçte eklem ağrılarından muzdariptir. Öte yandan, bitkinlik ve umutsuzluk gibi sağlık sorunları da kişinin bünyesinde adeta yer edinir. Çevresi ile iletişimi keserek çok ciddi bir yalnızlığın içerisine girer. Artık kendi hijyenine bile hiçbir şekilde özen göstermez ve akabinde de bazı hastalıklara yakalanabilir. Ayrıca kişinin uyku düzeni de tamamen bozulur. Yine en olumsuz olaylara karşı bile kişide bir umutsuzluk durumu hakim olmaya başlar.

All these problems are certainly solvable. To achieve this, it is necessary to consult a specialist in the field and seek professional support. Thus, you can bid farewell to psychiatric problems.
