Qualified to make a Psychiatric Diagnosis?
According to DSM-5, dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder) is more common than schizophrenia, a diagnosis commonly made by psychiatrists. But multiple personality disorder will usually be missed if you don't routinely ask new patients if they have memory gaps. And since most psychiatrists and psychologists do not routinely ask about memory gaps, they are not qualified to make a correct psychiatric diagnosis.
