What is a psychiatric illness, exactly? How an individual knows if he/she have a psychiatric disorder? It's difficult to pinpoint precisely what constitutes a psychiatric condition, and meanings have evolved over time. The first issue is that a mental health professional must first describe "disorder" precisely. How can you tell whether a person has a
psychological problem or is unhealthy? What criteria do you use to determine what is normal and what is abnormal? People who are deemed extremely talented or gifted in a particular field will be considered abnormal if disorder is described as anything that is outside of the statistical standard. Rather than focusing on acts that are objectively considered out of the ordinary, psychologists prefer to focus on the outcomes of those activities. Disorders are more likely to be classified as maladaptive behaviors that trigger serious personal distress and disrupt everyday functioning.
