Comparing Across Diagnostic Systems

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Prevalence figures produced under the DSM and under the ICD are not directly comparable, because their criteria and thresholds differ.

Show

The same population yields different rates for a disorder depending on which manual defined it.

Watch for

Always check which system a statistic came from. The two are largely aligned and never identical.
