The psychiatry (from the Greek psyche, soul, and IATREIA, healing) is the medical specialty devoted to the study of the mind in order to prevent, assess, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate people with mental disorders and deviations from the optimum.
The rigorous and objective study of mental problems is relatively new. Even in the nineteenth century, the mentally ill were confined in asylums where they were “moral treatment” in order to reduce their “mental confusion” and “restore the right.” In the nineteenth century, first came the concept of “mental illness”and psychiatry would make his final entry to medicine. In 1896 Emil Kraepelin designed a system of identification and classification of mental problems that would become the basis of modern psychiatric studies.
Its objective is the study of mental illness, biochemical and environmental effects on the dynamic behavior and how they interact with the agency to take on the world.
