Abstract

The classification of depression in DSM-III and DSM-III-R is radically changed from that of DSM-I and DSM-II. To understand the many changes, this paper explores early diagnostic systems, newer research studies, DSM-I, DSM-II, DSM-III, and DSM-III-R. A conclusion is reached that DSM-III and DSM-III-R offer both advantages and disadvantages to DSM-I and DSM-II. These are detailed in the paper.
