Comorbidity
Captions available
The idea
Comorbidity is the presence of more than one diagnosable disorder in the same person at the same time.
In practice
A person meeting criteria for a depressive disorder frequently meets criteria for an anxiety disorder as well.
Where people slip
High comorbidity across the manual suggests the categories overlap more than separate diagnoses imply.
