Forensic Psychiatry is a specialized field that combines principles of psychiatry and the legal system. It involves the assessment and treatment of individuals who are involved in legal proceedings, such as those accused of crimes or those who are victims of crime. Forensic psychiatrists evaluate mental health issues that may affect a person's competency to stand trial or their criminal responsibility. These professionals often provide expert testimony in court, helping judges and juries understand the psychological aspects of a case. They may also work with law enforcement agencies to assess risks and develop treatment plans for offenders. Their work is crucial in ensuring that justice is served while considering the mental health needs of individuals.
