Psychiatry is a subfield of medicine concerned with disorders traditionally deemed mental in nature. These include, most notably, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia but also neurodevelopmental disorders like autism and schizophrenia.
Etiology of psychiatric pathology
Gene–environment interactions in psychiatry are being actively studied with mixed results.[1][2] No interaction was found between the serotonin transporter gene and stressful life events in causing major depressive disorder[3] while may interactive with stressful life events to cause post-traumatic stress disorder.[4]
Diagnosis
The interrater reliability of psychiatric diagnosis varies across diseases.[5]
