Psychopathology is a field that studies abnormal cognition, behavior, and experiences that deviate from social norms. It is based on a number of constructs that are considered the social norm in a particular era. Descriptive psychopathology involves categorizing, defining, and understanding symptoms based on people's reports and their behavior, which are then evaluated according to the social norm.

Nootropics are a group of medicinal substances that can improve human thinking, learning, and memory, especially in cases where these functions are impaired. Anxiolytics are medications used to prevent or treat anxiety symptoms or disorders. Hypnotics are used to induce, extend, or improve the quality of sleep and reduce wakefulness during sleep. Psychostimulants are drugs that can significantly influence cognitive and affective functioning and behaviors.
