The study and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental disorders is known as psychiatry. The Greek words psyche, which means "mind" or "soul," and iatreia, which means "healing," are the source of the term psychiatry. Mental illness was initially viewed as a form of demonic possession up until the 18th century, but it gradually evolved into a disease that required treatment. Many people believe that the efforts of the French physician Philippe Pinel in the late 1700s are what gave rise to modern psychiatry. Benjamin Rush, a politician and physician who was his contemporary in the United States, developed a strategy that was comparable to his. The German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin''s emphasis on a systematic approach to psychiatric diagnosis and classification and the Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud''s development of psychoanalysis as a treatment and research approach in the late 19th century may have been the most significant contributions to the field.
