Mental Disorder

A mental disorder, also called a mental illness or psychiatric disorder is mental or behavioral pattern that causes either suffering or a poor ability to function or learn things. A mental illness is a disease that causes mild to severe disturbances in thought and/or behavior, resulting in an inability to cope with life’s ordinary demands and routines. Mental illnesses may be caused by a reaction to environmental stresses, genetic factors, biochemical imbalances, or a combination of these. With proper care and treatment many individuals learn to cope or recover from a mental illness or emotional disorder.
