- Title
Psychiatry NOS (not otherwise specified).
- Authors
Angst, Jules
- Abstract
The author reflects on the diagnostic classification system used by clinicians to diagnose psychiatric patients. The author notes the large number of patients that clinicians encounter that have sub-diagnostic syndromes, called not otherwise specified (NOS) disorders, and who do not meet “The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” (DSM) diagnostic criteria. The debate regarding the inclusion of NOS syndromes in the DSM is also discussed.
