The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM ), published by the American Psychiatric Association , is the handbook used most often in "diagnosing". A closer inspection of the text will show that, in fact, it is merely a check-list of symptoms, rather than a description of pathophysiology or etiology. According to the accepted use of the word "diagnosis" in our culture, the DSM is incapable of being used for diagnosis. For example, the ICD calls its text "classifcation." Obviously, classifcation and diagnosis are not the same thing, despite the fact that the texts are similar. The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) is a commonly-used alternative internationally. The DSM tends to be the more specific of the two. Both assume medical concepts and terms, and state that there are categorical disorders that can be diagnosed by set lists of criteria. It is controversial and some mental health professionals and others question the utility of this classification system.
