catalog of all mental disorders and symptoms?
Question:
Answers:
The American Psychiatric Association publishes the DSM. The current version is the DSM-IV-TR from 2001. This book lists all the different psychiatric diagnoses and the symptoms of each. It does not make treatment recommendations. There are 2 versions of it - a small condensed version and then a much larger more detailed version. Check local bookstores or amazon.com.
Other Answers:
there is something known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illnesses(DSM), there are 5 revisions, it was first published in 1952, this is the book used to identify mental illnesses and prescribe medications etc.
Check WebMD, they have lots of info on that.
Check a bookstore. Selfhelp/wellness section.
Ditto doxnd1 about the DSM-IV-TR. The other resource is the ICD-9 or ICD-10. Both are considered professional resources for the diagnostic criteria of psychiatric disorders.
