What are the main categories of mental disorders?

Mental disorders are typically categorized into several main groups, including anxiety disorders (such as generalized anxiety and panic disorders), mood disorders (like depression and Bipolar disorder), psychotic disorders (including schizophrenia), personality disorders (such as borderline and antisocial personality disorders), and neurodevelopmental disorders (like autism spectrum disorders and ADHD). Each category encompasses a range of specific conditions characterized by distinct symptoms and challenges. Understanding these categories helps in diagnosing and treating individuals effectively.
