“…Diagnostic decisions are automated and can be made using various sets of criteria; here we have used DSM 111. Various reliability and validity studies are in progress or have been reported (21,(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36). In three of the earlier studies (21,26,28) persons, largely patients or expatients, were interviewed independently by lay interviewers and psychiatrists.…”

Twenty persons with schizophrenia were identified in a community sample of 2144 adult household residents interviewed by trained lay interviewers using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. The hierarchy-free lifetime prevalence for a variety of psychiatric disorders is compared in those with and without schizophrenia. Those with schizophrenia were found to have increased chances of having other disorders, all except one having had at least one other disorder. Major depressive episodes, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobia, alcohol abuse/dependence and drug abuse/dependence, each occurred in over half of the schizophrenics, and panic disorder, antisocial personality, and mania were each found in one sixth to one quarter of the schizophrenics. Although current diagnostic systems generally lack an empirical basis for hierarchies, the practical significance of co-morbidity must be determined from outcome studies, familial morbid risk data and possible differential effects of treatments.

“…ANN was used for classification of schizophrenia and neurosis [14]. In another study, this method was applied for diagnosing antisocial personality disorder [24]. MLP neural network was proposed for categorizing disorders such as schizophrenia, mania, depression and alcohol syndrome in adults [26].…”

“…The inputs of the neurons in neural networks are affected by the synaptic junction weights; the main purpose of the learning procedure is to adjust these weights [15]. In one research, ANN was applied for diagnosing antisocial personality disorder [24]. Some researchers detected presence of hopelessness and somatic complaints in depressed persons by using ANN.…”

Designing a Decision Support System for Distinguishing ADHD from Similar Children Behavioral Disorders

et al. 2010

In this study, a decision support system was designed to distinguish children with ADHD from other similar children behavioral disorders such as depression, anxiety, comorbid depression and anxiety and conduct disorder based on the signs and symptoms. Accuracy of classifying with Radial basis function and multilayer neural networks were compared. Finally, the average accuracy of the networks in classification reached to 95.50% and 96.62% by multilayer and radial basis function networks respectively. Our results indicate that a decision support system, especially RBF, may be a good preliminary assistant for psychiatrists in diagnosing high risk behavioral disorders of children.

“…The psychiatrists began their examination by repeating the DIS -a procedural validity paradigm (Spitzer and Williams 1980). They then improvised questions to pursue any topics about which they had doubts, and kept a record of their own clinical impressions of the presence of the DSM-III diagnostic criteria, using a separate DSM-III checklist (Helzer et al 1985b), which could then be scored to produce diagnoses. Thus we were able to compare the lay interviewer results with two sets of psychiatrist ratings, a repeat DIS and a "clinical impression" based on a structured assessment.…”
