Accuracy of the diagnoses of affective disorders and schizophrenia in public hospitals

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The authors compared hospital diagnoses with best-estimate research diagnoses of affective disorders and schizophrenia for patients admitted to public psychiatric hospitals in Maryland. The concern that there is overdiagnosis of schizophrenia and underdiagnosis of affective disorders was not supported by this study.
