📖 1. Definition of Mental Disorder

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

DSM-5 definition of mental disorder: A mental disorder is described as “a syndrome characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or developmental processes underlying mental functioning.” This definition emphasizes that mental disorders are not merely deviations from typical behavior but involve disturbances that are significant enough to impact functioning and are rooted in underlying processes.

Precision psychiatry: This approach focuses on identifying biological correlates of mental disorders to tailor treatments more effectively. By understanding the specific biological factors involved, treatments can be customized to the individual’s unique biological profile, enhancing efficacy and reducing trial-and-error in treatment selection.
