Psychopathology

Hi there! So, do you know what it means to feel sad or happy? Sometimes, people feel things that are not very common or normal like feeling very very very very happy all the time or feeling very very very very sad all the time.

Psychopathology is when people feel or think things that are different from what most people feel or think. Psychopathology is a field in psychology that studies why some people behave strangely or differently.

It helps people understand how and why certain mental illnesses like depression, anxiety or schizophrenia happen. Psychopathology helps doctors and therapists figure out how to help people who are going through tough times with their thoughts and feelings.

It’s like when you visit the doctor when you are sick and they try to figure out what is wrong with you. Similarly, when someone isn’t feeling well in their mind, their doctor uses psychopathology to help them feel better.
