A member asked:
How come it important to have a widely recognized classification system for abnormal behavior?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Essential: The treatment for psychiatric illness, as with all of general medicine, is based on science. This is necessary, because years of research, throughout the country and the world, forms the foundation of our medical diagnostic ability and treatment regimens. If every region or community had a different set of diagnostic criteria, treatment would vary based on culture and tradition, not science.
