           Psychopathology refers to the study of behaviors and experiences which are caused by psychological impairments or mental illnesses (Beidel & Frueh, 2018). This study dives into understanding the causes of mental illnesses. Consequently, this information is used by mental health professionals in social work, psychology, and psychiatry.
