This study strengthened the foundations for work on improving the way mental illness is assessed and identified in research and practice.
We reduced the DSM-5 to its constituent symptoms and reorganised them into a data-driven model based on the patterns in individuals’ (n = 14,762) self-reported experiences and found the new model below.
This model can be used to overcome the limitations of the DSM and help us find reliable and valid constructs to move the field forward.
If you are interested in understanding the results of the study in detail, you can access the published article here or listen to me discuss the results on A Therapist Can’t Say That podcast (click here) or Under The Cortex (click here). Macquarie University also released a brief news article on the study, available here.
