Définition(s)

  • Introduction Mental and behavioural disorders have been the object of many classifications, from the Greek Antiquity during which they were divided into mania, melancholia, phrenitis and lethargia, to the most recent diagnostic manual, the DSM-IV, published in 1994. The purpose of medical classifications is to divide the population of patients into distinct and homogeneous sub-groups, by using as criteria the observed symptoms and, if it is known, their cause, in order to choose the most adequate therapy.
