Categorising & Diagnosing of Mental Disorders 

# data[].attributes.body
In order to categorise a mental disorder, a widely used system is the DSM 5. DSM is short for ‘Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.’ This was first developed in 1952, by the American Psychiatric Association, and since then, there have been 5 different editions. The DSM alone however shouldn’t be used to diagnose, or categorise a mental disorder; this should instead be done by a trained professional.
