PSYCHIATRY

Psychiatry : Introduction

The term "Psychiatry" has been derived from Greek words “psyche” which means mind and “iatreia” that means medical specialty. Thus, psychiatry is a science that focuses on the human mind.

Psychiatry is among the important branches of the medical profession which deals with mental, emotional and behavioural disorders . Mental and psychosomatic problems also rise in various medical, surgical and gynecological cases. These problems are attended to by psychiatrists.

With the increasing mental tension and stress arising from modern lifestyles, the demand for psychiatrists is increasing. The taboo that previously existed around the profession is gradually vanishing and the dignity attached to a medical profession is being restores.
