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' needs, they must understand and apply the aspects of mental health that show up in patients in their specialties. This is why there are child psychiatry, adolescent psychiatry, and geriatric psychiatry. In obstetrics and gynecology, there are mental health issues associated with pregnancy on the one hand and infertility on the other; in internal medicine, mental health issues associated with obesity and self-image are observed, just as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, which are at the other extreme of the weight-related mental health challenges. Mental health challenges are also present in some patients pre-surgery or post-surgery.
