Psychiatry

Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to diagnosing, preventing, and treating mental disorders.[1][2] These include various maladaptations related to mood, behavior, cognition, and perceptions. See glossary of psychiatry.
The earliest known texts on mental disorders are from ancient India and include the Ayurvedic text, Charaka Samhita.[91][92] The first hospitals for curing mental illness were established in India during the 3rd century BCE.[93]

The Greeks also created early manuscripts about mental disorders.[94] In the 4th century BCE, Hippocrates theorized that physiological abnormalities may be the root of mental disorders.[95] The Islamic Golden Age fostered early studies in Islamic psychology and psychiatry, with many scholars writing about mental disorders. The Persian physician Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi, also known as "Rhazes", wrote texts about psychiatric conditions in the 9th century.[98]
