Because of numerous possible causes involved, it isn't easy for general physicians to identify the precise reason of the psychiatric diseases and to decide the correct treatment. Bayesian networks are recognized as efficient graphical models with significant capabilities for investigating biomedical data either to obtain relationships between variables, either for medical predictions. Our paper provides a Bayesian network-based analysis of psychiatric patient data, which have been gathered from a Romanian specialized clinic during a couple of years. The development of this Bayesian network led us to the identification of most significant factors that affect some important diseases and their correlations.
