AB  - Most  psychiatric  disorders  remain  without  well-established  biological  substrates;  however,  standardized  diagnostic  nosology  has  gained  acceptance,  primarily  in  the  form  of  the  Diagnostic  and  Statistical  Manual  of  Mental  Disorders,  fourth  edition  (DSM-IV).  As  with  other  areas  of  medicine,  there  is  no  substitute  for  a  careful  diagnostic  evaluation  using  externally  validated  diagnostic  criteria.  Whenever  possible,  the  diagnostic  evaluation  should  draw  on  a  comprehensive  database  that  includes  family  members,  previous  or  concurrent  providers,  and  other  sources  of  information,  and  the  evaluation  should  focus  more  on  longitudinal  data  than  just  acute  presentation.
