Psykiatrisesta

Psykiatrisesta is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective psykiatrinen, meaning “psychiatric” or “relating to psychiatry.” It is used to describe a noun in the elative case, for example in phrases such as psykiatrisesta hoidosta (from psychiatric care), psykiatrisesta tutkimuksesta (from a psychiatric examination) or psykiatrisesta sairaalasta (from the psychiatric hospital).

In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify in number and case, so psykiatrisesta appears when the head noun is in the elative singular. The base noun psykiatria denotes the field of psychiatry and comes from Greek psyche (“mind”) and iatros (“healer”). The form psykiatrisesta thus reflects both the grammatical case and the adjectival relation to the noun.

Psykiatrisesta is commonly found in formal or clinical language, such as medical records, academic texts, policy documents, and other contexts where it is important to indicate that something originates from, relates to, or is provided by psychiatric care or the field of psychiatry. It is one of several inflected forms of the adjective psykiatrinen, which also includes nominative psykiatrinen, genitive psykiatrisen, and other case forms for different grammatical needs.

Related terms include psykiatrinen (the base form meaning “psychiatric”) and psykiatria (psychiatry). The word emphasizes linguistic usage rather than representing a standalone concept.
