Yes. Social and Behavior Sciences (excluding politics I guess). Although not all behaviors are brought on from being mentally unstable due to psychological reasons from birth (defects.) Someone having an OD on drugs or a drug problem which leads to mental unstablness is one example. Although, I guess that might fall under Social Psychology.
As for Hollywood some are just straight out insane and weird for who knows what reasons. That's just no getting around. They don't call it "Hollyweird" for nothing.

That's why we had churches attempting to perform exorcisms and the like on people who were determined to be possessed with demonic spirits. Without understanding the causes behind the behavior, we would not have developed medications and psychotherapies for these abnormalities.
