Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the study and treatment of mental disorders - which include various affective, behavioural, cognitive and perceptual disorders. The term was first coined by the German physician Johann Christian Reil in 1808. Psychiatric assessment typically starts with a mental status examination and the compilation of a case history. Psychological tests and physical examinations may be conducted, including on occasion the use of neuroimaging or other neurophysiological techniques. Mental disorders are diagnosed in accordance with criteria listed in diagnostic manuals such as the widely used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association, and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) edited and used by the World Health Organization. Psychiatric treatment applies a variety of modalities, including medication, psychotherapy and a wide range of other techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation. Treatment may be as an inpatient or outpatient, according to severity of function impairment/the disorder in question. Research and treatment within psychiatry as a whole are conducted on an interdisciplinary basis, sourcing an array of sub-specialties and theoretical approaches. From Wikipedia under the

I am thinking about a psychiatry major, specializing in interpreting dreams. What book should I look in to?

This information is for the US; it may be different in other countries: For both psychiatry and psychology, you need a bachelor's degree to get admittance. After that you go to graduate school for psychology (usually 4-7 years depending on the program, your adviser, your willingness to work hard, and the outcome of your research) and medical school for psychiatry (usually 4 years med followed by a 4-year psychiatric residency). Strictly speaking, your undergraduate field of study can be anything for most programs, including hospitality, as long as you have the prerequisite courses.

Q. Well... next year I will probably study medicine and when the time comes of choosing a specialty I just wanted to be sure whats the difference between Psychiatry, Neuropsychiatry and Neurology... I've been reading alot but I want to hear some opinions. Asked by Milo - Tue Apr 15 19:25:14 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Exact difference? That's pretty hard to pinpoint, because they obviously overlap so much. If you're trying to distinguish between them so that you can decide what you'd rather study, here's my input: Psychiatry -- psychology on steroids; you'll be learning about mental disorders and the treatment thereof from a more medical perspective (as opposed to humanitarian, as in psychology).
