Abstract:
This study primarily describes the four key characteristics and challenges in the current diagnosis of mental disorders: 1. Individual Differences in Symptoms of Mental Disorders; 2. Complexity of Factors Influencing Mental Disorders; 3. Psychopathology is a Broad and Continuous Spectrum; 4. Purely Data-Driven Psychiatric Diagnosis Requires Further Exploration. We aim to raise awareness of the importance of precise diagnosis and treatment in psychiatry. Additionally, through the description of the current challenges, we call for the standardization of future research to provide potential for data-driven medical diagnoses, ultimately promoting the precision, accessibility, and equity of healthcare resources.
