Mental disorders encompass behavioral or mental patterns that result in significant distress or hinder personal functioning. The study of mental disorders entails scrutinizing atypical patterns of behavior, emotion, and thought that can serve as signs of such conditions. The primary goal of this field is to comprehend and analyze behaviors that deviate from societal norms and may be linked to psychological disorders, with the ultimate aim of gaining a comprehensive understanding of these conditions.
