Abstract: | Mood disorders have proven to be a fertile ground for nosological debate. Numerous attempts to classify them phenomenologically have been undertaken, but it is doubtful whether there will ever be widespread agreement until more definitive biological markers emerge. Although some individual classifications may have limited utility, the DSM nosology appears to incorporate most, if not all, of the mood disorders encountered in clinical practice. Indeed, with minor modifications, the DSM and ICD systems could be amalgamated to ensure universal agreement in our conceptualization of mood disorders. |
