So, how are mental disorders classified?

With the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, otherwise known as DSM IV

So, who is qualified to diagnose mental disorders?

This varies from state‐to‐state, and is subject to change as licensing laws change.  For most states, all Psychiatrists and any MD/DO canPsychiatrists and any MD/DO can diagnose, as can PhD‐level Psychologists.  Some doctoral‐level counselors, MA level counselors, and MSW’s also diagnose, but many do not and work under the supervision of an MD or PhD

Let’s talk about each of these Axes 

Axis I  Clinical Disorders1)What are they?Examples of Axis I Disorders include:        

1) Mood disorders like Major Depressive Disorder) j p2) Thought disorders like Schizophrenia3) Anxiety disorders like Panic disorder and PTSD4) Somatoform disorders like conversion disorder5) Many others too like Dementia, Substance Abuse, etc.

An important point

The mental health professional diagnosing an individual not only confirms the presence of certain diagnostic criteria, but also that these problems produce clinically significant problems and distress.

For example

Major Depressive Disorder
