Five New Mental Illness Categories


Health: A study report published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry states that research-scientists have identified five new categories of mental illness – i. Tension, ii anxious arousals, iii General anxiety, iv Anhedonia and v, Melancholia.

According to the study, currently, depressed and anxiety are the leading cause of disability and lost productivity worldwide with only one- third of patients recovering from treatment.

The broad diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, such as anxiety and depression, have so many overlapping symptoms that are difficult to identify biological markers for potential treatments would be the same for anyone in these broad categories. The research helps better define mental illness in order to provide improved treatment plans for the millions of patients who suffer from these disorders.
