Abstract
Epistemiyatry, as proposed first time in this paper, is a philosophically conducted interdisciplinary study of human beings' relation to her knowledge. It stems from the combination of two Greek words: epistêmê and ietreia. It searches out the conditions under which people can gain their epistemic health. "How should I live with my knowledge to attain epistemic health ?" is the basic question of epistemiyatry."How can I be master of my stock of information ?" "How can I steer my knowledge in order to avoid its supposedly unconscious adverse effects upon my life?" "What kinds of disorders might appear if I am not epistemiyatrically aware of my life with my knowledge?" These are some questions that have been dealt with in this paper. This paper is an attempt to venture to explore an epistemic area where remains uncharted so far. Though Stoic Philosophers and Foucault to some extent have opened the way!
