Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) includes a means of identifying different mental disorders, which is its primary purpose. It does not discuss the various causes of mental disorders or provide a comprehensive list of all possible treatments for each disorder. Additionally, the DSM does not necessarily describe necessary and sufficient conditions for mental illness, as mental disorders can manifest in a variety of ways and have varying levels of severity.
