Psychiatric diagnosis: impersonal, imperfect and important
Nick Craddock et al. Br J Psychiatry. 2014 Feb.
Abstract
Psychiatric diagnosis is in the spotlight following the recent publication of DSM-5. In this article we consider both the benefits and limitations of diagnosis in psychiatry. The use of internationally recognised diagnoses, although insufficient alone, is part of a psychiatrist's professional responsibility to provide high-quality, evidence-based care for patients.
