<![CDATA[The intersection of law and psychiatry is explored, emphasizing the necessity of expert opinions in substantiating claims of psychological harm and its legal ramifications. With the advancement of legal and medical sciences, there's an increasing reliance on psychiatric evaluations to provide a comprehensive understanding of a defendant's mental state, the effects of psychological violence, and the potential for resulting mental disorders.

By acknowledging the profound impact of psychological violence and the critical insights provided by psychiatry, the paper calls for enhanced collaboration between the legal system and mental health professionals.]]>
