Psychiatry or Psychological Medicine is a specialized field of medicine which deals with every aspect of mental health. It involves managing all types of behavioral, emotional and thought disorders. Psychiatry has a broader role in preventing these disorders by promotion of good mental health practice. It, therefore, aims to help individuals achieve their best abilities and improves their quality of lives.

Recent research showed 11% of Malaysians suffering from mental disorders. This is in keeping with statistics around the world where half a billion people (10% of population) have some form of mental disorders. It is a growing phenomenon with serious socioeconomic implication.

It is a widespread misconception in Malaysia that mental disorders are all about 'madness', and that an individual who seeks psychiatric help must therefore 'be mad'. The society must understand that mental disorders encompass a very large group of emotional, behavioral, thoughts and neurological disorders. In fact, the incidence of emotional disorders, such as depression and anxiety, at 10%-20% far outnumber the incidence of psychotic ('mad') disorders at 1%.
The last decade has seen tremendous growth in the field of neuroscience that unraveled the causes of these disorders. The advancement of modern medicine has greatly improved treatment and prognosis of mental disorders.
