The brain is very complex and the symptoms of many brain disorders are heterogeneous and often varied. The panel of expert psychiatrists have developed classification systems to enable physicians to make accurate diagnoses of brain disorders.
Using these classification systems, symptoms of brain disorders are clearly defined and grouped. There are two widely applied systems. The first, developed by the American Psychiatric Association, is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), and is used mainly in the U.S. The second, which is used more in Europe, is the International Classification of Diseases, Part 10 (ICD-10). These guidelines for determining mental illness that probably has the individual and discarding others whose symptoms overlap.
