The term ‘psychiatry’ is a Greek word. It was first used in 1808 by Reil, professor of medicine in Germany. It means medical therapy of the soul (psyche = mind/soul & iatreia = healing/therapy). Hence, psychiatry is a medical treatment that is only related to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of mental illness.
