Posted October 7, 2013 okay now this confusion arouse because of some papers that evaluated the prevalence according to the DSM 3 and most were following it until recently- it was around 37-47% at that time with the application of the DSM4 the actual figures dropped as many dint fit the criteria- it dropped to between 7-15% (don't know what will happen when they apply DSM5- lets wait and watch and hopefully clear the exam by then ) trust me and go for anything in that zone- 7 to 15% and you shouldn't be wrong! cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
