Staging: a neglected dimension in psychiatric classification

G A Fava et al. Acta Psychiatr Scand. 1993 Apr.

Abstract

The staging method, whereby a disorder is characterized according to seriousness, extension and features, has achieved wide currency in medicine but is currently neglected in psychiatry. Studies addressing or related to the issue of staging in schizophrenia, unipolar depression, bipolar disorder and panic disorder are discussed. The phenomenological development of these mental disorders may be categorized according to stages.
