Psychological disorders affect an individual's thoughts, emotions, or behaviors, disrupting their ability to function. The DSM-5 categorizes these disorders into various types such as anxiety, mood, and personality disorders, based on symptoms and underlying causes.
Psychological disorders are defined as mental health conditions that disrupt an individual’s thoughts, emotions, or behaviors, often leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning.
