Recognized mental illnesses come in a wide range of disorders. The more typical kinds are:
Anxiety disorders
People with anxiety disorders exhibit physical symptoms of anxiety or panic, such as elevated heartbeat and perspiration, as well as feelings of fear and dread in response to certain things or circumstances. When a person's reaction is inappropriate for the circumstance, when they are unable to regulate their reaction, or when their worry affects their ability to carry out daily tasks, an anxiety disorder is identified. Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and certain phobias are all examples of anxiety disorders.
Mood disorders
These conditions, often known as affective disorders, are characterized by dramatic mood swings from extreme happiness to extreme melancholy or by prolonged sensations of sadness or excessive happiness. The most typical mental health issues, depression, bipolar disorder, and cyclothymic disorder are the most typical mood disorders.
Psychotic disorders
These conditions result in impaired perception and thought. Hallucinations, the perception of unreal pictures or sounds, such as hearing voices, and delusions, which are erroneous fixed beliefs that the ill person accepts as true despite evidence to the contrary, are two of the most prevalent symptoms of psychotic diseases. One example of a psychotic disorder is schizophrenia.
Disorders of impulse control and addiction
Those with these conditions struggle to control their wants to do things that might be dangerous. People with impulse control problems are unable to control their urge to do things that might hurt them or other people. Impulse control disorders include pyromania (setting fires), kleptomania (stealing), and excessive gambling. Drugs and alcohol are two common addiction triggers. People with these diseases frequently become so preoccupied with their addiction's targets that their obligations and interpersonal connections start to slip.
Eating disorders
Eating disorders are characterized by intense feelings, attitudes, and actions related to food and weight. The three most prevalent eating disorders are binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa.
Psychological disorders
Extreme and rigid personality qualities that are stressful to the individual and/or cause issues at work, in school, or interpersonal interactions are characteristics of people with personality disorders. The person's thought and behavior patterns also significantly deviate from what society expects of them and are so rigid as to impair their ability to function normally. Antisocial behavior is one example. Psychological disorders include antisocial personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder of the mind, histrionic disorder of the mind, schizoid disorder of the mind, and paranoid disorder of the mind.
Post-traumatic stress disorder
PTSD is a condition that can arise after a traumatic and/or distressing incident, such as a sexual or physical attack, the untimely loss of a loved one, or a natural disaster. People who suffer from PTSD frequently have disturbing recollections and thoughts about the incident and frequently exhibit emotional numbness.
Other, less prevalent varieties of mental disorders include:
Adjustment disorders- were once known as stress reaction syndromes. When a person has emotional or behavioral symptoms as a result of a stressful event or circumstance, it is known as a stress reaction syndrome. The stresses might be interpersonal issues like a divorce, the death of a loved one, losing a job, or a problem with substance misuse. They can also be events or crises like a car accident or the diagnosis of a serious disease. In most cases, stress response syndromes start three months after the stressful condition or occurrence and conclude six months after it has passed or been removed.
Dissociative disorders -Â those with these conditions experience profound alterations in their identity, memory, and overall awareness of their environment. These diseases are frequently linked to extreme stress, which may be brought on by traumatic experiences, accidents, or disasters that the person may have personally experienced or watched. Examples of dissociative disorders include depersonalization disorder and dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder or "split personality."
Factitious diseases -are illnesses in which a person deliberately and purposefully fabricates or complains of physical and/or emotional symptoms to pose as a patient or someone in need of assistance.
Tic disorders - produce repetitive, fast, abrupt, and/or involuntary noises or exhibit non-purposeful bodily movements. Vocal tics are uncontrollable sounds that are made. A tic disease like Tourette's syndrome is one example.
Somatic symptom disorders – whether or not a doctor can identify a medical cause for the symptoms, a person with a somatic symptom disorder—previously known as a psychosomatic disorder or somatoform disorder—experiences physical symptoms of an illness or pain with an excessive and disproportionate level of distress.
Other illnesses or ailments are occasionally categorized as mental illnesses because they affect the brain, including different sleep-related issues and several types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
