Mental health (psychiatric or psychological) disorders involve disturbances in thinking, emotion, and behavior. Small disturbances in these aspects of life are common, but when such disturbances distress the person greatly and/or interfere with daily life, they are considered mental illness or a mental health disorder. The effects of mental illness may be temporary or long-lasting. These disorders are caused by complex interactions between physical, psychological, social, cultural, and hereditary influences. Psychiatric medications are mainly prescribed by primary care physician. Anyway the best treatment for a mental health concern is from a mental health professional: a psychiatrist, psychologist, clinical social specialist or psychotherapist. For some patients, a blend of psychotherapy and medication is typically demonstrated, the best technique for treatment.
