Definition of a Mental Disorder
A mental disorder is a syndrome characterized by clinically significant
disturbance in a individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior that
reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or developmental
processes underlying mental functioning.
When making a diagnosis
• Consider contextual information (course, differential), distress, clinical
judgment, culture
• Diagnosis is given, DSM-V provides severity assessments that can help
you differentiate and specify
