The book "Psychological Disorders" covers the syllabus of the Psychopathology course. Its chapters are structured as follows: The first chapter addresses the meaning and manifestations of abnormal behavior and provides a historical overview. The second chapter examines contemporary trends and models for explaining abnormal behavior and psychological disorders, such as the neurological, biological, genetic, behavioral, psychodynamic, and multidimensional models. The third chapter focuses on the foundations and primary trends of assessing and diagnosing psychological disorders. The subsequent seven chapters cover the most significant psychological disorders by their categories and classifications, including: anxiety disorders, somatic symptom and related disorders (hysteria), mood disorders, eating disorders, substance-related and addictive disorders, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and sexual disorders.

This book is intended to be an initiative to foster interest in the field of psychopathology. Although various fields of psychological assistance, such as psychiatry, psychotherapy, counseling, and social work, all engage with these topics, this book serves as a scientific reference for specialists in these fields. It is also a scientific resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, drawing upon the latest studies and scientific references, including the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. The author hopes to have successfully presented the topics in this book, and that students and readers will find the information they need to help improve mental health.
