Which article are you evaluating?
Psychiatry

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article specifically because I find anything related to psychology interesting. Psychiatry was the first article I came across related to that topic, I want to understand psychiatry and the methods used to treat mental illness.

Evaluate the article
The article starts off with a good lead, it contains a brief summary of what the article contains. However I did notice that it mentions the DMS (Diagnostic and statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders) in the introductory part of the article and in the rest of the article it doesn't mention it again. I do believe the article should have a part in which it discusses how they use the DSM to properly diagnose patients but maybe they left it out for a reason. The article covered a good amount of information on psychiatry while still managing to stay neutral. I didn't see any grammatical or spelling errors, it was easy to read and it contained links to many of the key terms so one could see what they mean. As for the sources provided they all look credible. The sources I didn't see any current ones only some from a few years ago and others from the 90s. I think the article could have used more information. It could talk about the history of psychiatry and how psychiatry came to be. I think it's important to know the history behind the subject in order to understand what has changed and what has stayed constant.
