Classifying mental disorders through clinicians’ subjective approach based on three-way decisions

The most widely used technique for psychiatric diagnosis is a contemporary manual-based procedure based on prevailing culture-bound data for the classification of mental disorders. However, it has several inherent faults, including the misdiagnosis of complex patient phenomena and others. A potentia...

description The most widely used technique for psychiatric diagnosis is a contemporary manual-based procedure based on prevailing culture-bound data for the classification of mental disorders. However, it has several inherent faults, including the misdiagnosis of complex patient phenomena and others. A potential mental patient from a minority culture could present with atypical symptoms that would be missed by the standard approach. Using the three-way decisions (3WD) as a framework, we propose a unified model that represents the subjective approach (CSA) of clinicians (psychiatrists and psychologists) consisting of three components: qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, and evaluation-based analysis. The results of the qualitative and quantitative investigation are a classification list and a set of numerical weights based on malady severity levels according to the clinician’s highest level of assumptions. Moreover, we construct a comparative classification of diseases into three categories with varying levels of importance; a three-way evaluation-based model is utilized in this study in order to better comprehend and communicate these results. This proposed method enables clinicians to consider identical data-driven individual behavioral symptoms of patients to be integrated with the current manual-based process as a complementary diagnostic instrument to improve the accuracy of mental disorder diagnosis.
