Do you sometimes have sudden attacks of
anxiety and overwhelming fear that last for

you sweat, and you feel like you can’t
breathe or think. Do these attacks occur at
unpredictable times with no obvious trigger,
causing you to worry about the possibi...lity of
having another one at any time?

The concept of mental disorder is determined by many factors, including the historical context, cultural influence, level of scientific knowledge and capacity to carry out scientific enquiry, level of education in certain circumstances, as well as many others. In putting together a method of classif...ication of mental disorders, the expert’s duty is primarily that of capturing and remaining faithful to the current level of knowledge in the subject, acknowledging that, in a matter of time, some or all the above factors could change to variable degrees, making what was clear as a mental disorder a few decades previously less clear in the next edition of the classification system.

Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank and the Harvard School of Public Health,
drew the attention of the international health community to the burden of neurological
disorders and many other chronic conditions. T...his study found that the burden of neurological
disorders was seriously underestimated by traditional epidemiological and health

GBD study showed that over the years the global health impact of neurological disorders
had been underestimated.
