Mental disorder is the medical term for mental illness and is defined and diagnosed in Canada
according to criteria specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,
Fifth Edition (DSM-5) by the American Psychiatric Association. Mental disorders are
depicted as constellations of co-occurring symptoms that may involve alterations in thought,
experience, and emotion that are serious enough to cause distress and impair functioning,
cause difficulties in sustaining interpersonal relationships and performing jobs, and sometimes
lead to self-destructive behaviour and suicide.
