Psychopathology

I wish I could come up with a really new and clever way of describing this, but it is simply the study of psychological disorders. Many people confuse psychopathology with "psychology" itself. However, there is more to psychology than illnesses or disorders that I can even begin to describe. But there are many professionals that actually study psychological disorders (what they are, where they come from, how do we classify them, etc.)...this is psychopathology.
