Prior to entering the bunker, Dr. Schmidt used DSM-IV-TR religiously. Describe the DSM-5, and any attendant controversies/debates that emerged around the released of DSM-5. Do not discuss Major Depressive Disorder as this is asked about below. Use the word “reliability” in your answer 6.It is true that some clients who should be diagnosed with BP II are not (under-diagnosis) and that some clients who shouldn’t be diagnosed with BP II are diagnosed that way (over-diagnosis).
But, on a national level (e.g., the entire U.S.), it is impossible for both over-diagnosis and under-diagnosis to exist in the aggregate. Overall, either the disorder is under-diagnosed or over-diagnosed.
Based on research, data, and argumentation, which is it, and why?
