Little wonder?

Little wonder, then, that doctors struggle to diagnose the condition. Before the last rewrite of the DSM in 2013, the American Psychiatric Association ran trials in which different clinicians were asked to diagnose the same patients turning up at academic psychiatric hospitals. Major depressive disorder was among the hardest diagnoses on which to get agreement, getting a rating of “questionable” reliability.
