Abstract

Are Mental Disorders Brain Diseases and What Does This Mean?

N\'Famory Camara and Emmanuel Binyet

The aim of this paper is to increase awareness of the prevalence of neurological disorders. To do so, we highlight via in-depth literature review the distinction between mental disorders, brain diseases and psychiatric disorders. This distinction will give a holistic view into the disorders. This in turn will facilitate the suggestion of reasonable conclusions that can enhance the way in which mental disorders or brain diseases are being diagnosed and treated.
