Mental Health is currently one of the most important specialties in medicine. It is so important that it finds its way into every area of medicine. For any specialist to do well and continue to satisfy their patients and patients' relatives, they must understand and apply the aspects of mental health that show up in patients in their specialties. This is why there are specialties in child psychiatry, adolescent psychiatry, and psychogeriatrics. In obstetrics and gynecology, there are mental health issues associated with pregnancy on the one hand and infertility on the other; in internal medicine, there are established mental health issues related to obesity and self-image, just as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are at the other extreme of the weight-related mental health challenges spectrum. Mental health challenges are also present in some patients presurgery or post-surgery.
