Forensic psychiatry is a specialized field of
psychiatry that intersects with the legal system. Forensic psychiatrists assess
and treat individuals who are involved in legal matters, such as criminal
cases, civil litigation, or administrative hearings. They evaluate the mental
state of defendants, witnesses, or victims to determine their competency to
stand trial, their culpability, or their mental capacity to understand legal
proceedings. Forensic psychiatrists also provide expert testimony in court,
advising judges and juries on mental health-related issues. Additionally, they
may work with correctional facilities to assess and treat individuals with
mental illnesses who are involved in the criminal justice system. Their
ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between mental health and the legal system,
ensuring that individuals receive fair treatment while addressing mental health
concerns within the context of legal proceedings.
