Summary/Abstract: „This paper aims to customize nuanced reasoning regarding mental illness diagnosis made by DSM IV TR, respectively DSM V, related to the necessity of hierarchy and objectification of the diagnostic criteria in psychiatry, in order to increase the validity of the diagnostic act (hence, the prognosis). More than that, it aims to acquire a quantifiable possibility in identification of the minimum differential threshold.”
