I remember way back in the 80s when the DSM III came out, a study was done when the same case example was given to multiple diagnosticians in the US and the UK and something like 65% of US diagnosticians diagnosed schizophrenia while 65% of diagnosticians in Great Britain diagnosed BiPolar. I thought that finding was a hoot. There are few psychiatric diagnoses where a differential diagnosis has a bearing on treatment, but Bipolar is one because Lithium just came into common use and was pretty effective.
