The lecture is a teaching material for the course Psychiatry 1, it is intended for fourth year General Medicine and Dental Medicine students. It describes the basics of general - descriptive psychopathology with a focus on disorders of will, action, drives and personality disorders. General - descriptive psychopathology is the in-depth description, categorization, and diagnosis of abnormal experiences as reported by the patient and as manifested in their behavior. It uses phenomenological analysis to confirm the universality of the events experienced.

In the medical profession, a general practitioner (GP) is a medical doctor who treats acute and chronic illnesses. Provides preventie care and health education to patients. A general practitioner manages types of illness that present in an undifferentiated way at an early stage of development, which may require urgent intervention. The holistic approach of general practice aims to take into consideration the biological, psychological, and social factors relevant to the care of each patient's illness.
