Psychological Disorders: A Guide 

What Are Psychological Disorders? 

Psychological disorders are characterized by persistent mental impairment and personal distress that negatively affect’s a person’s everyday life. When symptoms like sadness, anger, or hallucinations become oppressive, a psychological disorder may be present. Classified illnesses include bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and anorexia nervosa, among others. While the precise cause is unknown, chemical imbalances in the brain, family upbringing and traumatic life events may contribute to their onset.
