The most important categories that are overdiagnosed are bipolar disorders, major depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. The boundary of pathology and normality remains unclear. This edition also discusses dimensional systems that are transdiagnostic and shows how overdiagnosis is linked to the practice of aggressive psychopharmacology.
