About this website

Psychiatry is a medical specialty most often feared by some, and mysterious to others. These reactions are legitimate and accepted, because psychiatry remains unfortunately, and until now, unknown and misunderstood. This space is created with the aim of answering the questions of those curious about medicine, and especially psychiatry, to correct certain preconceived errors about this discipline, and about the pathologies it treats, to minimize frustrations, and above all the fear of some vis-à-vis some corners still considered dark and obscure in psychiatry. This website is also dedicated to residents of the specialty to enrich and complete their training with whatever little it may be. The purpose of this space is to succeed in achieving psychiatry for all, for the different sections of society, with the sole perspective of the evolution and continuous progress of psychiatry in the world, and above all, in Algeria. .
