Document Summary
Does not mean symptoms are mental" as distinct from physical: can"t make a clean distinction, such as diabetes (13/01/17) Can be medical or psychological or social: same causes may lead to different symptoms. The very same causes can lead to different symptoms, there"s an overlap of genes which confer risks to adhd, or anxiety, or depression. Same genes, different symptoms: same category for people with different symptoms. Same diagnostic label, can present in different ways, showing symptoms very different. People who may have different cause, but given the same label because of the dsm. If you"ve seen one kid with autism you see another kid with autism. Doesn"t classify it toward their causes, but because of the nature of their symptoms. No clear boundary between disorder and no disorder: no clear boundary between giving a label and normal" not always clear same patient can be given 2 different symptoms, not a clear cut of diagnosis.
