Dr. Michael Welsh answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Communication: A widely recognized system for classification of abnormal behavior (such as the dsm-iv) is essential in communication between providers. As opposed to listing off a series of symptoms, were able to more effectively communicate based on a diagnosis that has been well researched and supported by literature.
