Psychiatry focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health disorders, including conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Psychiatrists utilize a combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and other therapeutic interventions to improve patients’ mental health and overall well-being. Stigma surrounding mental illness leads to underdiagnoses and inadequate treatment, with many individuals relying on traditional healers rather than seeking professional help in sub-Saharan Africa.
