Is My Disease Psychological?
You go from doctor to doctor and eventually one doctor tells you, "Your problem is psychological." At that moment, you wonder, "Has my psychology deteriorated now?" Or you wonder, “Am I crazy?” Disorders of psychological origin affect us in four ways;
-
Mental (For example: Disturbing thoughts)
-
Behavioral (For example: Anger or intolerance )
-
Perceptual For example: Not feeling like you belong to this world)
-
Physical (For example, pain, itching, constipation)
No healthcare professional uses the concept of insanity. But when we have doubts, we can ignore many of our psychological problems in order to be convinced that we are not crazy.
No matter what the disorder is, treatment cannot be started without a diagnosis. However, unlike other branches, no patient likes to be diagnosed with a psychological disease. Hundreds of psychological diseases have been defined among the scales used internationally, and the most common among them are depression, addictions, anxiety, substance addictions, states of fear, and sexual problems.

strong>The patient does not like to be identified with the disease. If you call someone who drinks alcohol an alcoholic and a person who uses drugs a drug addict, no one will see themselves as an alcoholic or drug addict. We do not make such an association. For example, we say that he cannot give up alcohol and consumes more calories than he needs.

How Are Psychological Disorders Diagnosed?
An appropriate diagnosis is made by listening to the patient's complaints. Most of the patients who come to me have first seen a specialist from another branch and have had many tests done. On the one hand, he wants to know, “Are these disorders really psychological? "My psychology has deteriorated from experiencing these," he says.
The classification of psychological diseases is made by the American Psychiatric Association, DSM, which is used in America and Canada. To date, 250 diseases have been classified and this classification is being updated and improved.
