normal

disorders may change or no longer be considered as disorders
• Most sciences rely on classification - provide us with a nomenclature (a naming system)
common language and shorthand terms for complex clinical conditions
• Structure - classification systems typically place diagnoses commonalities (panic
disorder, specific phobia, and agoraphobia = fear anxiety based)

understanding.
