The diagnosis of schizophrenia, a psychotic disorder, is based on criteria in either the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD).[1] Clinical assessment of schizophrenia is carried out by a mental health professional based on observed behavior, reported experiences, and reports of others familiar with the person.[2] Diagnosis is usually made by a psychiatrist.[3] Associated symptoms occur along a continuum in the population and must reach a certain severity and level of impairment before a diagnosis is made.[4] Schizophrenia has a prevalence rate of 0.3-0.7% in the United States.
