PY - 2019 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Psychiatry, 3e AB - Most psychiatric disorders remain without well-established biological substrates; however, standardized diagnostic nosology has gained acceptance, primarily in the form of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-4). As with other areas of medicine, there is no substitute for a careful diagnostic evaluation using externally validated diagnostic criteria. Whenever possible, the diagnostic evaluation should draw on a comprehensive database that includes family members, previous or concurrent providers, and other sources of information, and the evaluation should focus more on longitudinal data than just acute presentation.
