In the end, in order to know what the Psychiatric nurses do we have to understand what mental health really is and who suffers from this. Mental health is "Emotional, behavioral, and social maturity or normality; the absence of a mental or behavioral disorder; a state of psychological well-being in which one has achieved a satisfactory integration of one's instinctual drives acceptable to both oneself and one's social milieu; an appropriate balance of love, work, and leisure pursuits" by Medical News Today. People of all ages, teenagers, adults, and the elderly can suffer from mental health disorders. Statistically, "4.8 percent of all American adults" (National Institute of Mental Health), suffer from mental health problems. The most famous and occasionally types of Mental Health problems are Anxiety disorders, Mood disorders, and Schizophrenia disorders.
