AB  - Psychiatric  disorders  are  central  nervous  system  diseases  characterized  by  disturbances  in  emotion,  cognition,  motivation,  and  socialization.  They  are  highly  heritable,  with  genetic  risk  comprising  20–90%  of  disease  vulnerability.  As  a  result  of  their  prevalence,  early  onset,  and  persistence,  they  contribute  substantially  to  the  burden  of  illness  worldwide.  All  psychiatric  disorders  are  broad  heterogeneous  syndromes  that  currently  lack  well-defined  neuropathology  and  bona  fide  biologic  markers.  Therefore,  diagnoses  continue  to  be  made  solely  from  clinical  observations  using  criteria  in  the  Diagnostic  and  Statistical  Manual  of  Mental  Disorders  (DSM)  of  the  American  Psychiatric  Association,  which  is  in  its  fifth  edition  as  of  2013.
