3. Addiction (alcohol, opioids, tobacco)
4. Mood disorders (major depressive disorder, bipolar disorders, cyclothymia)
5. Thought disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional)
6. Anxiety disorders (social anxiety, phobias, generalized anxiety)
7. Developmental differences (autism, ADHD)
