Psychiatric epidemiology

Psychiatric epidemiology is a field which studies about the mental disorders in society, as well as conceptualization and prevalence of mental illness. It is a subfield of general epidemiology. However, the field has been expanded to the study of a wide area of environmental risk factors, such as major life events, as well as genetic exposures. Increasing neuroscience techniques like MRI are used to explore the mechanisms behind the risk factors that may impact psychological problems and explore the neuroanatomical substrate underlying psychiatric disorders.
