Abnormal psychology is a specialized branch of psychology that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of atypical behaviors, emotions, and thought patterns that may indicate mental disorders. This field examines what is considered "abnormal" in various contexts, recognizing that definitions of normality can vary significantly across different cultures and societies.
