Diagnosis is usually made by guidelines set out by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-IV (IV because it is the 4th edition of the publication), published by the American Psychiatric Association in 1994. An updated version of the manual, DSM-IV-TR (TR for text revision), was published in 2000. Initial diagnosis of a mental illness may be made by a medical practioner who may recommend medication or refer the patient to a psychologist or psychiatrist, depending on the illness diagnosed.
