Confusing C
lusters: Ambiguity in Diagnosis and Treatment in Mental Health Care: Affect
ive Disorders, ADHD, Borderline Personality, Trauma
p>
There is a significant amount of uncertainty in mental health work due to our poor understanding of the causes of mental illness and the lack of biologic markers indicating the presence of any disorder. We are left with trying to identify DSM-5 syndromes – clusters of behaviors and emo tional experiences that cause distress which we label as mental illnesses. Given the lack of robust criteria, clinicians are often faced with “confusi ng clusters” - disorders that overlap and treatments that seem to be treati ng “everything.” This workshop will address the confusions that arise in di agnosing and treating disorders in one of those clusters.
