Psychiatry in the United States with the colonization process initiated in the 1500s by Spain which discovered and colonized most of the southern parts of the United States; that is, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louissiana, Teaxas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California. Subsequently, France had its presence in Louissiana for quite a few years. Later on, however, England also conquered parts of the United States, particularly in the Northeast section of this nation. Eventually, however, the English population dominated the whole country and in the cevil world of the late 1700s ended by dominating the entire country; thus the English influence with respect to psychiatry has now prevailed in this country for over 200 years.

Currently, the APA has about 40,000 members and has become the largest psychiatric association across the world.
